Corrected entry: When Brannigan asks if he should call Swann "sir", the commander says that the title was handed down from some ancestor. However, a knighthood from the British Monarchy is not hereditary. It dies with the holder.

Correction: Swann states that it is a military courtesy title handed down from an ancestor. That opens the possibility of Swann inheriting a Baronet title, since they are addressed as 'Sir'. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baronet http://www.churchill-society-london.org.uk/HnrSystm.html.
