No the only reason why he's sticking around is because nobody is willing to take him. There is a basic no fly zone over Libya and the Libyan navy is effectively boxed in and going nowhere.
I think that he understands the reality of the situation.
Usually Captains go down with their ship to either strike one last time against their enemy or to give their crew a better chance to get clear of the ship, but the whole concept of the Captain going down with the ship to accept responsibility for failure has been exaggerated.
