Corvette Captain

Corvette Captain

Corvette Captain is a rank in many navies which theoretically corresponds to command of a corvette (small warship). The equivalent rank in the UK, Commonwealth and USA is Lieutenant-Commander. Canada's Maritime Command uses bilingual ranks with "Capitaine de Corvette" (Captc) being the french equivalent of "Lieutenant Commander" (LCdr).

Notable users of the rank of Corvette Captain in Europe include the navies of France, Germany and Spain. Other users include many Latin American countries.
