On 11 February 1693, the rank was codified, by King Christian V, with the publication of the updated Danish order of precedence. Here "Commandeur-Capitain til Søes" was placed below Schout by Nacht, above Capitain and equal to Major.[2] As of 2022, the rank is positioned below Kommandør and above Orlogskaptajn.[3] It holds the grade of M401 within the Ministry of Defence's pay structure.[4] Officially, the rank is translated as "Commander, Senior Grade".[5]
