Claes Tornberg

Rear Admiral Claes Egmont Tornberg (born 10 February 1936) is a retired Swedish Navy officer.

[7] In October 1990, Major General Evert Båge was to be replaced as the head of the Swedish Armed Forces Staff College.

The Supreme Commander of the Swedish Armed Forces, General Bengt Gustafsson, proposed Tornberg for the job, but Defence Minister Roine Carlsson preferred Senior Colonel Einar Lyth [sv].

Despite all authorities except Gustafsson supporting Lyth, the appointment of Tornberg came as a surprise on 27 July 1990, during vacation time, with Carlsson absent.

[10] Tornberg got engaged on 31 December 1958 to Ann-Charlotte von Hofsten (born 1937) at Borrud [sv] in Töreboda Municipality.
