A good question is worth more than a hundred answers.
"Is Captain Kennedy a metaphor for John F. Kennedy?"
"Does the young mariner like to go to war?"
"How is it important for the song that his father was an 'American' Captain Kennedy?"
"What happened (in reality) in Nassau in 1971 that is relevant to this song?"
"What the hell is meant with the penultimate verse with the 'steel hull freighter'?"
"Is this a pessimistic song about America?"
