EXHIBIT 2: PLAN Anti-Piracy Escort Task Force Leaders with Rank, Billet and Grade

Note: All ranks and grades at time of TF command. Ranks converted to closest English equivalents per “” [Ranks in the Chinese, U.S. and UK Armed Forces], http://language.chinadaily.com.cn/focus/rank/rank.html. The following are approximate equivalents: the four-star position — (Admiral, First Class) is above four-star U.S. Navy (USN) Admiral but below five-star U.S. Fleet Admiral. The three-star position (Admiral) is roughly similar to a four-star USN Admiral. The two-star position (Vice Admiral) is similar to three-star Vice Admiral in the USN. The one-star (Rear Admiral) is similar to a two-star USN Rear Admiral (upper half/RADM), but above a one-star USN Rear Admiral (lower half/RDML). (Senior Captain) is decidedly below the largely-discontinued USN rank of Commodore (rendered in Chinese as ), but slightly above the position of USN Captain, akin to a captain, upper half. To facilitate comparison U.S./Western naval nomenclature, “” is translated as “flotilla.”
