   No, not at all. An Argonaut is an argonaut no matter who he is by name,   
   if he is on the team. The Argos are the Argos no matter who the captain   
   is, or who the crew are. The latter is always changing. Draft picks and   
   all that crap.

   No...not at all. Besides the players and captain always changing and the   
   team remains the same team.... you have to remember that even if I throw   
   Jason overboard into the sea, and the crew with him, the Argo remains   
   the Argo, regardless of that !   
      
   Besides... it is all irrelevant... if the ship falls into a gravity   
   well...
