In the book, the Old Man sends the correspondent ahead of him on the ship's ladder, and HE is mistaken for the Commander. In the movie, Peterson must be trying to demonstrate the IWO's pretensiousness.
As Buchheim tells it, the Old Man looks rather worse than he does in the movie. His favorite shipboard outfit features a sweater that's mostly holes.
