Ranks wrong?

I am in the very early stages of my first play-through (Just leaving Kiel after taking command, to be precise) and I've just been looking over my Crew Management page. I've noticed there seems to be a bit of a mixup with the ranks.

Firstly, rank 4 seems to be Obermaat, Funkobergefreiter and Matrosen Gefreiter. Is this right? It doesn't seem it...

More worryingly, my Watch Officer (Dieter Epp), Cook (Olaf Hacklander), Bosun (Herbert Heine) and Navigator (Emil Dubler) all bear the rank of Kapitan zur See. Given that both I and my XO are mere Oberleutnants, it seems the 2 most senior officers on the boat are outranked by the cook. How can this be possible?
