Categorization as US ship[edit]

I cannot find any evidence that the Danmark actually operated under a US flag during WW II, though of course I could be wrong about that. Therefore I've taken off the "US ship" categories.

Possible confusion with article "Denmark"[edit]

I Personally think a hatnote linking to "Denmark" would be appropriate, since "Danmark" is Denmark's own name for the country of Denmark. Thus someone mistakenly searching for the Danish word for "Denmark" instead of the English term "Denmark", might be confused by this article. This seems likely since an article about a country is likely to have more readers than an article about a ship.

I am not sure if such a hatnote should be added according to the guidelines, but I find it reasonable. I would appreciate if anyone could clarify why this would/would not be appropriate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheHiggsField (talk • contribs) 20:45, 5 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

As there are many ships with the name Danmark, I suggest this page is renamed as Danmark (1932) and that Danmark (ship) is used as a disambiguition page. Have just added the page Danmark (1906) about Mylius-Erichsens ship Danmark.JakobT (talk) 07:13, 22 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
