Talk:History of the Danish navy

Move?
I propose renaming this article Royal Dano-Norwegian Navy to better reflect the conventional English rendition of dansk-norsk. //Big Adamsky 14:30, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I agree. But for some reason I do want it to be Danish-Norwegian. I'll move it anyway.Inge 15:59, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
 * The move is done. But if someone disagrees just say so.Inge 18:25, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Excellent! I didn't quite understand whether you agreed or disagreed though, and if so why or why not...? :-0 //Big Adamsky 18:55, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I think the way it is now is the right way, but somehow I "like" danish-norwegian better. I can't explain why. Maybe it's the double no-sound which make dano-norwegian a bit odd in my ears.Inge 11:35, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I also think "Dano-Norwegian" is a deeply awkward sounding word. john k (talk) 16:48, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, there's always "Danish". — LlywelynII  16:37, 25 May 2012 (UTC)


 * This "Royal" business makes no sense at all. This is about a historical navy that never used the term "Dano-Norwegian". The name is purely descriptive and seems to have no association to actual usage in literature. As such, I've moved it to simply Dano-Norwegian navy, similar to how we write Byzantine navy.

This is no longer history?
Rather than reverting your decision to remove the category:hisotry of norway designation, I'll sak here first. What is your logic? Tusen takk - Williamborg 02:44, 18 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Of course it is history. And i my view important history. But since it is also in Category:Royal Danish-Norwegian Navy which is in Category:Denmark-Norway which is in Category:History of Norway I don't see why it should be listed in both categories. Inge 13:42, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

my last revert.
How many percent of different regions/nationalities must be documented some where, or just believed by a trusted historian. Since there is no source provided, i revert Berig's edit. --Dynamiske (talk) 16:46, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Obviously you're working in a foreign language, but do try to be more clear as to what you're talking about. — LlywelynII  16:42, 25 May 2012 (UTC)

Sources for article expansion
Two massive sources – not just for this article but also for all the affiliate ship articles – are the Orlogsmuseet's ship-by-ship history pages and this compendium of Danish ships from prehistory to the 1690s. Of course, both of them are in, but what would you expect? — LlywelynII  16:42, 25 May 2012 (UTC)

Name
The latest (undiscussed) move from Dano-Norwegian navy was a slighty improvement in my view, but I think we should have a discussion on what to actually call the article. There seems to be somewhat of an undue focus on the loss of Norway. I don't see that it actually became a new organization, just like the Swedish Navy didn't suddenly change because by losing Finland (or gaining Norway).

So why use complicated and speculative backronyms? Why not settle for something intuitive like history of the Danish navy?

More lists of Danish ships
Hallo everybody!

Rather than a long list of ships names in this article, why not just give links to those ships which have Wiki-articles (i.e. blue links). There are two superb external sources which I use a lot, and which are on my User page but which I repeat here. Both originate from the website of the Royal Danish Naval Museum For record cards of individual ships (where they exist) or just the names listed alphabetically Of course, each complete ship's wiki-article is probably listed in the Category:Ships of the Royal Dano-Norwegian Navy Would this make this Danish Navy article easier to follow?? Comments?? Viking1808 (talk) 11:18, 15 December 2020 (UTC)
 * The Danish Navy and then >DATABASE>SIMPEL>Danske Navne>and choose your ship, or simply this link. This site also gives search ability by year, builder, type of ship by going >DATABASE>ADVANCEREDE and completing the drop-down menus. (Works only when language is set to Danish)
 * skibregister (den sorte registrand) - There is also access to all the coded sources and the usual caveats!
 * After some thought, I have transferred the above as two notes at the beginning of the Ships section in the article. Viking1808 (talk) 20:37, 16 December 2020 (UTC)
