Hanno Teuteberg SM MMM SAN (Rtd) is a retired Rear Admiral from the South African Navy, formerly serving as the Deputy Chief of the Navy.[1]
He joined the South African Navy in 1977 and qualified aboard submarines.[2]
He was defence attaché in Germany from 2003 to 2006 during the delivery of four Valour-class frigates as part of the Arms Deal.[3]
From July 2006 until Dec 2008, he served as Director Fleet Force Preparation, followed by a stint as the Director Maritime Warfare[4] from June 2009 until December 2010 in Pretoria.
From 1 January 2011 until November 2011 he was the Chief of Fleet Staff[5] at Fleet Command in Simon's Town followed by the post of Director Joint Force Preparations and Training with Chief of Joint Operations.[2]
He was promoted to Chief Director Maritime Strategy from 1 February 2013, taking over from his brother Bernhard[3] and promoted to rear admiral.[2]
There was some controversy in the press when he was passed over for appointment to head the Navy, apparently due to his being white.[6] In 2016 it was announced that he was taking voluntary early retirement and was leaving the Navy on 31 March 2016.[7]
