[Platforms] Denmark DANA's

[Marilynn Sørensen]

Dear Platform Group, 

A request came in for clarification of the Danish vessels called DANA (26DA) and DANA II (26DN). We have found that there have actually been 4 DANA's. Data have been reported for at least 3 of them with 26DA - and 26DN has been used inconsistently. 
In order to prevent a lot of corrections in actual data across the world, we suggest that 26DA and 26DN be designated as multiple hulls and 4 new codes are created with specifics that one can link to when necessary. "DANA II" will be changed to "DANA" since the name "DANA II" never existed.

Suggested code: 26D1 
<name>DANA</name> <platformclass>research vessel</platformclass> <commissioned>1920</commissioned> <decomissioned>1921</decommissioed> <notes>Built in Nakskov in 1918</notes>


Suggested code: 26D2 
<name>DANA</name> <platformclass>research vessel</platformclass> <title>S/S</title> <commissioned>1920</commissioned> <decomissioned>1935</decommissioed> <notes>Steam trawler, built in 1917 in UK, named JOHN QUILLIAM. Reconstructed in 1920, renamed S/S DANA and used as research vessel from 1920-35. Died in 1935</notes>


Suggested code: 26D3 
<name>DANA</name> <platformclass>research vessel</platformclass> <title>M/S</title> <call sign> OYTJ</call sign> <commissioned>1937</commissioned> <decomissioned>1977</decommissioed><imo>5085897</imo> <notes>Built in Frederikshavn in 1937, named M/S DANA and used as research vessel from 1937-77.

Comment: There are still questions on decommissioned date. DANA staff says 1977.

Please respond if this is not acceptable. These suggestions will need confirmation by NOAA.

Cheers,
