	"The DANMARK succeeded the København, a five-masted barque which was lost at sea at the end of 1928, as Denmark's principal training ship. Launched in 1932 at the Nakskov Shipyard in Lolland and fitted out the following year, she was built to train officers of the Danish merchant marine. In 1939 she visited the United States to participate in the 1939 Worlds Fair in New York City, but at the outbreak of hostilities in World War II she was ordered to remain in US waters to avoid capture by the Germans. She was then based in Jacksonville, Florida and maintained with the help of the Danish American community there. After the attack on Pearl Harbor the Captain, Knud Hansen, offered the ship to the U.S. government as a training vessel. This offer was accepted, and the DANMARK moved to New London, Connecticut to train cadets at the United States Coast Guard Academy there. Approximately five thousand cadets were trained before the ship was returned to Denmark in 1945. She resumed her training duties the following year. In recognition of her wartime service, a bronze plaque was placed on the mainmast, and the DANMARK was given the honor of leading the parade of ships at the 1964 Worlds Fair in New York. Experience with the DANMARK led to the acquisition of the USCGC EAGLE from Germany at the end of the war as a training vessel."

<h3>Ship Name and Designation History</h3>
This section lists the names and designations that the ship had during
its lifetime.
The list is in chronological order.
<table width="90%">
<tr>
<td valign="top">
<ol>
252 Foot Square-Rigged Training Ship (DENMARK)<br/>
Built - Launched 1932<br/><br/>
<li>'''DANMARK'''<br/>Placed in Service 1933 - Held by US Government 1939<br/><br/>
<li>'''USCGC DANMARK WIX 283'''<br/>Commissioned May 12 1942 - Decommissioned September 26 1945<br/><br/>
<li>'''DANMARK'''<br/>Returned to Denmark September 26 1945 - Still in Service as of 2012<br/><br/>

</td>
</tr>
</table>
<p> </p>

<h3>Naval Covers</h3>
This section lists active links to the pages displaying covers associated with the
ship. There should be a separate set of pages for each name of the ship (for
example, Bushnell AG-32 / Sumner AGS-5 are different names for the same
ship so there should be one set of pages for Bushnell and one set for Sumner).
Covers should be presented in chronological order (or as best as can be determined).

Since a ship may have many covers, they may be split among many pages so it doesn't
take forever for the pages to load. Each page link should be accompanied by a date
range for covers on that page.
<ol>
<li> Covers Page 1     (1942)</li>
</ol>
<p> </p>

<h3>Postmarks</h3>
This section lists examples of the postmarks used by the ship. There should be a
separate set of postmarks for each name and/or commissioning period. Within each set,
the postmarks should be listed in order of their classification type. If more than one
postmark has the same classification, then they should be further sorted by date of
earliest known usage.

A postmark should not be included unless accompanied by a close-up image and/or an
image of a cover showing that postmark. Date ranges MUST be based ONLY ON COVERS IN
THE MUSEUM and are expected to change as more covers are added.
<br/> <br/>
>>> If you have a better example for any of the postmarks, please feel free to replace the
existing example.
