hi, Herb,
you have to delete "Kmdt" (= Commanding officer) from many entries/ lines.
for entry Detmers: "HERMANN SCHOEMANN" and "Z.7" are the same (i.e., one) ship
for entry "von Gaza" , you should write Lt.(Ing.) to differentiate from Lt.ing. which could be read as "Leitender Ingenieur (L.I.)"
you should decide whether to use British or German abbreviations for the officer´s ship duties.
the synonyms are
Kmdt (Kommandant) = CO (Commanding officer), not: Commander !!, that´s a rank (like Korvettenkapitän)
I.O. (erster Offizier) = XO (Executive Officer)
greetings, Urs
Hi Urs,
Why there is Kmdt after names is from German documents,as in Divisions on the ship.i think it means at central command post.
Herb.

hi, Herb,
Zitat von: Hubertus am 09 Mai 2012, 10:11:01
Why there is Kmdt after names is from German documents,as in Divisions on the ship.i think it means at central command post.
even if it is so, in this case it´s plain irritating.
IMO, the HK´s didn´t have a "central command post" (like a real warship) except for the Bridge/wheelhouse.
greetings, Urs
