I respectfully disagree (no flames, no shields). You ended with the phrase "on his description", and that's the key: the captain is the one looking at the target, and he is the one who has to make the ID. He can't pause the game, so I think it is cheating.
But that's an opinion, nothing more. |

No.
Welcome to the navy.:rotfl:
Which reminds me of a funny story illustrating the difference:
After receiving my orders overseas, I had a couple of last days at San Diego NTC (good old Nimitz Island). My last day was spent 'policing' the area, i.e. walking around picking up cigarette butts and trash. Of course we were up at 0600 for breakfast and work. Then we boarded a plane for Travis AFB, outside San Francisco.
After getting assigned to a barracks there, we had dinner, saw a movie and hit the rack (went to bed, for all you non-martial types). Rather than an 0600 wake-up, breakfast and work, we slept in until about 0900, at which point some airman walks in and asks "You guys want a tour of the base?"
Right then I decided I had joined the wrong branch.
