Italian term or phrase: Il Comandante T.V. (C.P.) (followed by person's name)

Could anyone tell me what the initials T.V. and C.P. stand for before a naval commander's name in Italian (or French), and the English translation? In the context of a ship's registration in an administrative office.

Thank you very much!

Il Comandante T.V. (C.P.) (followed by person\'s name) The Commanding Officer, (Port Authority) Lieutenant ....name

Explanation:
T.V. = tenente di vascello
Il grado di tenente di vascello (T.V.) è il quarto grado degli ufficiali inferiori della Marina Militare che corrisponde a quello di capitano dell'Esercito e dell'Aeronautica Militare; questo grado è superiore a quello di sottotenente di vascello ed inferiore a quello di capitano di corvetta.

Tenente di Vascello = Lieutenant

The senior grade of Lieutenant is known as First Lieutenant in the United States, and as Lieutenant in the United Kingdom and the rest of the English-speaking world. In countries which do not speak English, the rank title usually translates as "Lieutenant", but may also translate as "First Lieutenant" or "Senior Lieutenant".

C.P. Capitaneria di Porto (Compamare) = Port Authority
