History
The flag captain was in the Swedish Navy a naval officer, of the rank of captain or commander, who was posted as chief of staff to a fleet commander.[1] If he was a flag officer, the flag captain carried, as command flag, the standard prescribed for "squadron commander", otherwise he carried the broad pennant (galjadett) intended for "department commander".[2] According to the regulations in force before 1875, the flag captain was an officer of the rank of flag officer or regimental officer, commanded to assist the commander of a fleet of at least six ships of the line, frigates or battalions of archipelago ships.[1]
Between 1904 and 2000, the flag captain served as chief of staff of Flaggen, the staff of the Chief of the Coastal Fleet.[3]
