Best Answer

Officers are addressed either by rank (Captain, Commander, etc.), or by Sir or Ma'am as the case may be. If you know the officer, it's customary to address them by rank and name (e.g., Commander Lawless). It depends on the circumstances as well, if it's in passing, in private, or a formal meeting, unit gathering, off duty, etc.
