Lieutenant-Commander (Canada)
- Lieutenant-Commander (Canada)
In the Canadian Forces, the rank of lieutenant-commander (French: "capitaine de corvette" or "capc") is a naval rank equal to a major of the army or air force. A lieutenant-commander is senior to a lieutenant (N) or an army or air force captain, and junior to a commander or lieutenant-colonel.
Typical appointments for lieutenant-commanders include:
* Commander of a division within a school or training establishment
* Commanding officer of a ship of MCDV or submarine class
* Executive officer of a ship of frigate class
* Department head within a ship
The rank insignia for a lieutenant-commander is two 1/2-in. (13 mm) stripes with a 1/4-in. (6.4 mm) stripe between, worn on the cuffs of the service dress jacket, and on slip-ons on other uniforms. On the visor of the service cap is one row of gold oak leaves along the edge. Lieutenant-commanders wear the officers' pattern cap badge, which is an anchor on a black oval, surrounded by a wreath of maple leaves. Specialist officers in such branches as administration, medical, etc., wear their branch cap badge.
A lieutenant-commander is addressed initially by rank and surname, thereafter by superiors and peers as "lieutenant-commander" and by subordinates as "Sir" or "Ma'am".
Note: Before unification of the Canadian Forces in 1968, rank structure and insignia followed the British pattern.
