Stabskapitänleutnant Staff captain lieutenant ( ) is an OF - 2 military rank in the German Navy for specialist officers . The rank is senior to the regular OF - 2 rank of Kapitänleutnant ( Lt ) . Instead of being promoted to the rank of Korvettenkapitän ( OF - 3 , LtCdr ) , specialist officers are usually promoted to the rank of Stabskapitänleutnant and given the salary of a Korvettenkapitän . Its rank insignia are two stripes with two half stripes between them . According to NATO STANAG 2116 " Stabskapitänleutnant " is given the rank code OF - 2 , same as German Navy rank of " Kapitänleutnant " , equal to the Commonwealth or US rank of lieutenant . However , " Stabskapitänleutnant " undeniably is senior to a regular OF - 2 " Kapitänleutnant " and in fact has the same pay rank as " Korvettenkapitän " ( OF - 3 ) . Since the German rank of " Korvettenkapitän " for its part is considered slightly senior to a Commonwealth or US OF - 3 lieutenant commander ( STANAG 2116 gives the correct translation as " Commander ( Junior grade ) " ) , the rank of " Stabskapitänleutnant " is actually closer to OF - 3 than to OF - 2 level . The German Bundeswehr army rank equivalent is Stabshauptmann .
HSwMS Clas Fleming HMS " Clas Fleming " was a mine cruiser of the Swedish Navy from World War I until the Cold War . She was named after the 17th Century Swedish admiral Clas Fleming . Commissioned in 1914 , the " Clas Fleming " was among the first Swedish warships to use Parsons steam turbines . As built it was armed with four guns in a superfiring arrangement : one at the forecastle , one - highly unusually - on top of its armoured conning tower , one on the poop deck , and a fourth at the stern . Up to 190 mines could be carried on the main deck . In service the stern was found to be very wet on rough seas , so in 1918 - 19 the poop deck was extended to the stern ; the guns at the stern and on the conning tower were accordingly moved to a more old - fashioned , side - by - side positions just aft of amidships . In 1926 three anti - aircraft guns were added , one on the conning tower and two just behind the amidships 120mm guns . In November 1939 the " Clas Fleming " was extended with a six - meter long new section to make room for four new six - cylinder two - stroke diesel engines ; these however did not drive the propeller shafts directly , but were gas generators for the turbines , a rare arrangement never before used on a ship . Of the eight original coal - fired boilers only two were retained , and these were modified to oil firing . After World War II the " Clas Fleming " was placed in reserve in Stockholm , and was decommissioned on 1 January 1959 .

In one of the many raids of the Swabian War , an expedition of Habsburg troops had plundered some villages in the Swiss Confederacy , who responded by sending an army to Vorarlberg . At Frastanz , a few kilometers south - east of Feldkirch , the Habsburg troops had blocked the entry to the Montafon valley with a strong wooden fortification called a " Letzi " . The Swiss used a flanking maneuver to bypass the " Letzi " and after a hard battle routed Maximilian ' s army . Many " Landsknecht e " drowned in the river Ill . The battle . Because a frontal assault on the strong fortifications at Frastanz seemed futile , the commander of the Swiss troops , Heinrich Wolleb from Uri , devised an alternate battle plan . Some 2 , 000 men were to cross the Roya mountain , clear it from Tyrolean troops and then attack the main camp of the Habsburg army from the side . Another 5 , 000 men under the command of count Ulrich von Sax were to advance at the foot of the mountain and then meet the first group , also attacking from the mountain above and behind the " Letzi " . Some 1 , 600 men from the Grisons should stay put to keep the garrison at Feldkirch at bay . Wolleb ' s troop was quickly engaged by the Tyrolean soldiers , but managed to drive them down the mountain . At a place called Fellengatter , they met again with the other part of the Swiss army . The Habsburg troops , amongst them many " Landsknechte " of the Swabian League , attacked them , but when the Swiss charged from their higher ground , the Swabian battle line collapsed . Accounts vary ; some claim the fight was long and hard , others mention that the Swiss overran the " Landsknechte " . Heinrich Wolleb fell through a gun bullet . The Swiss ultimately drove the Habsburg soldiers back . On their flight , many drowned in the river Ill , which ran high due to the snowmelt in spring . The Swiss camped three days at the battlefield and plundered and burned the villages in the area .

In 1974 , the SSF took the Paracel Islands from South Vietnam , which resulted in the sinking of one South Vietnamese frigate while damaging another . The latest incident was in 1988 , when a Chinese naval task force engaged Vietnamese naval forces , sinking one Vietnamese warship and damaging another . Most of the fleet ' s surface ships are located at Zhanjiang naval base , while all of the fleet ' s submarines are at Yulin Naval Base , on Hainan Island . The SSF has many other bases included Guangzhou , Haikou , Shantou , Mawei , and Beihai , while naval air force bases are at Lingshui , Haikou , Sanya , Zhanjiang , and Guiping . The fleet ' s area of operations is divided into six zones . A task group under the fleet ' s deputy commander , Rear Admiral Su Zhiquan , consisting of the Luyang I class destroyer " Guangzhou " and the tanker " Weishanhu " visited several European ports , including Portsmouth , Cadiz , and Toulon , in September – October 2007 . During the visit the two ships conducted communications and maritime rescue drills with HMS Ark Royal . Major Naval Bases in the Fleet .
