OK, it works both ways. I had a CO who had "driven" both N subs and a Frigate. As CO of the Frigate he visited Murmansk for some Artic Convoy memorial with various senior people on board. The Rusian Pilot is reported to have commented that "Captain, it must be strange coming in to Murmansk after all these years". The reply was "Oh, its not so strange, I have been here before, although I didn't need a pilot on board to show me the way before".
I know this is an aviation forum so I'll just clarify that the "pilot" in this instance is a navigational specialist & does not wear "wings".
