Proud history with the United States
During World War II, Denmark became occupied on
April 9, 1940 while the training ship DANMARK was on
a routine training mission in U.S. waters
(Jacksonville, Florida). In agreement with the
Danish Ambassador to the United States, the
Honorable Henrik Kauffmann, Captain Knud L. Hansen
placed his training ship at the disposal of the U.S.
Government; however, neutrality prevented the
acceptance of the offer until December 7, 1941 when
Pearl Harbor was attacked.
From that point onward and until the end of the
World War II, DANMARK and Capt. Knud L. Hansen
served under the Stars and Stripes training some
3000 U.S. officer cadets. These young men received a
first-class education in responsible seamanship
under Capt. Knud L. Hansen’s capable leadership and
strict discipline; later they would serve in the
U.S. Coast Guard.
