Vice Admiral Per Yngve Rudberg was a Swedish Navy officer and Chief of the Swedish Navy from 1978 to 1984.
Activities
Rudberg went on holiday with the then Deputy Director of the CIA, Admiral Bobby Ray Inman, who had been Assistant Naval Attaché to Sweden in the mid-1960s.[1][2]
As the Chief of the Navy, Rudberg would in the event of a military attack on Sweden or in a military crisis immediately be flown to England where he would act as a kind of "reserve Supreme Commander" but also be a link between Sweden and the NATO forces. The Chief of the Army would be the Supreme Commander's deputy and Chief of the Air Force would be the commanding officer at the front.[3]
In a news article in Svenska Dagbladet in 1998, Rudberg explained that after Prime Minister Olof Palme's assassination in Stockholm on 28 February 1986, Rudberg, who until recently had been the Chief of the Navy, had called the Supreme Commander Lennart Ljung and announced that he was ready to travel to Washington, D.C., where Sweden's naval chief had his place in the event of a war.[4]
