Korvettenkapitan != kaleun?

[Vanilla]

I am sorry if it was asked and answered already... I've been thinking recently on origins of 'kaleun' nick, it is most obvious that it is a shorthand for Kapitaen-Leutenant. But then I wondered what were the shorthands for Frigattenkapitaen and Korvettenkapitaen, would it not be disrepectful to call a Frigattenkapitaen - kaleun?
Any clues?

Welcome aboard kaleun

Sorry but I don't have an answer to this The Kriegsmarine being a disciplined service would IMO mean that any shortening would be deemed disrespectful and not tolerated

In my boat we use a "stress free" environment. As long as they show the due level of respect they can call me however they like

In mine I use Sailor Steve soundpack files and I don't hear anymore the "Jawohl Herr Kaleun !!" What a break...
I can barely imagine if I heard every 5 minutes "Jawohl, Herr Korvettenkapitän !!"

You bet! I had no idea this had been made. As much as I like to be shown respect I much prefer pertinent information to be provided as efficiently as possible. Do you have a link for this "mod" and does it work with GWX?

Thank you,

In the German navy the shorthand was and is until today "Kapitän" for
Korvettenkapitän, Fregattenkapitän and Kapitän zur See.
