Please be careful about overcategorizing articles
Having just reverted a whole bunch of instances of overcategorizations made by you, I feel it is worthwhile to give you a word of caution when it comes to categorizing articles. Please see Categorization for the full guideline, but in a nutshell, you want to find the best category, which may not be the higher-level category. In the case of hospital ships, better categories existed than Category:Hospital ships, such as Category:Hospital ships in World War I and others. These were subcategories of the main hospital ships category. To categorize the articles in both the main category and the subcategory defeats the purpose of having the subcategories, so please take great care in choosing what categories articles should be placed into.
