Anecdote

While serving with the Bundesmarine, Z-5 (in German Z-Fünf), was part of the second destroyer squadron based in Kiel, FRG at the Bundesmarine base. As part of the German-American Navies' Personnel Exchange Program (PEP), she had a US Navy officer assigned, usually as the ship's operations officer (abbreviated as "ORTO" in German). In 1977, the PEP officer, Commander C. G. Slebos (then Lieutenant Commander), received the unofficial "Order of the Red Star" (a ship's metal shop-produced, red-painted, tin star cut-out with pin-on device on the back of the medal ribbon) for his efforts against units of the Soviet Baltic Fleet. LCDR Slebos, who had studied Russian at Annapolis, would stand on the open bridge wings, in US Navy uniform, and speak Russian over the ship-to-ship communications, eliciting many confused looks and obscene gestures from opposing Soviet Navy officers peering back at Z-5 through binoculars.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 214.13.212.26 (talk • contribs) 21:14, August 11, 2007
