People's Navy

The captain lieutenant was a rank in the rank group of captains in the People's Navy of the GDR and was comparable to the NATO rank code OF-2. He corresponded to the captain of the NVA .

The rank badge consisted of shoulder pieces with a navy blue background and parallel silver cords. Four square gold-colored shoulder stars were attached to the shoulder piece. The sleeve badge consisted of two yellow single stripes and one narrow stripe. The career badge was sewn over it. In contrast to all other German naval forces, the sleeve badges only covered about 40% of the sleeve circumference.
