>of Captain Sparrow's ships. Oh, I see what you're saying. It's difficult to tell from the original phrasing whether the bit after the comma is supposed to be an elaboration on the bit before it, or if that's the person being compared to the bit before it, at least if you're me and have only the faintest familiarity with either bit. I thought it was postulating that Tylor was the Black Pearl's captain, which is, as far as one knows, not the case.
In any event, the Black Pearl isn't a CEC corvette; she appears to be a modified Swan-class solar sailer. This occasionally causes confusion, since without direct visual contact or a transponder return, it is sometimes difficult for the uninitiated observer to know whether he or she is looking at the sensor return of a ship with black sails that's crewed by the damned and captained by a man so evil that Hell itself spat him back out... or the HakuĊ Academy Yacht Club out on a training cruise.

In either case you probably don't want to mess with them.
