That is exactly what I mean ICEMAW. If you ask who has command and someone will answer saying they do, but thier ID is not listed as being in command. You can't change wayPoints or trun the ship. If that player has forgotten he has command or in most cases (lost interest in the CV but forgot to give up command) you can't do anything to try to save the CV if bombers show up. I've seen CV's tied up for hours until the player who has command of the TF logs or the CV is sunk.
Today, WMlute had taken command of a CV, but his ID was not listed as having command, but when asked "who has command of Cxxx" he responded he did, yet, he was never listed as having command in the list box.
