Who authorizes signatures?

The Commanding Officer is the one authorized to sign official documents. As the unit’s senior officer, the CO has the authority to approve and stamp or sign formal communications, orders, and reports. Delegation can let the Executive Officer sign on the CO’s behalf for routine items, but ultimate signature authority rests with the CO. The Chief Engineer handles engineering-related matters, not general approvals, and the Captain is typically another way to refer to the CO, not a separate signer.
