Talk:List of hospital ships sunk in World War II

Erlangen
I have removed this from the list. It was stated the ship was sunk by bombing and gave a source for this. The source - http://www.feldgrau.com/hs-erlangen.html - actually states "decommissioned 13.9.44, and was scuttled 9.44 in Genoa".90.216.40.224 (talk) 12:53, 4 October 2013 (UTC)

Armenia
Armenia's status as a hospital ship is unclear. She had light anti-aircraft armament, had previously transported troops and military stores, and, on the morning of 7 November, was traveling with military escort. You need to flag a query up here. 86.142.165.134 (talk) 15:08, 5 February 2017 (UTC)

Dronning Maud
Another very controversial sinking. She was not known internationally as a hospital ship (i.e: cabled to the International Red Cross in Geneva). Moreover, she had been in continual use transporting troops, until the Norwegian authorities decided to use her to transport the 6th Landvern Medical Company from Sørreisa to Foldvik in Gratangen. This included horses and trucks. In military minds this vessel is clearly a military transport in time of war. For the voyage to Foldvik one 3-metre by 3-metre (9.8 ft by 9.8 ft) Red Cross flag was stretched out over her bridge deck and two more Red Cross flags were flown from her masts. I would argue this entry also needs some kind of qualification marker. 86.142.165.134 (talk) 15:14, 5 February 2017 (UTC)

Qualifications
ALL Hospital ship registrations were notified to the International Red Cross in Geneva, who then notified all belligerent countries to be aware of these ships. Some kind of effort should be made by the contributors to this page to acquire a copy of this. Otherwise the very secondary sources might not be valid. 86.142.165.134 (talk) 15:18, 5 February 2017 (UTC)
