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.
