"She" or "It"
This article uses both “she�? and “it�? to describe this ship. I have changed some of these, for consistency. As this is the English language Wiki I have followed common English practice and used the feminine article. Pleaase say here if you disagree. Xyl 54 08:58, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

Does anyone know what Amburgo refers to? Xyl 54 09:00, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
Hello Xyl, I was wondering what "Amburgo" means myself. My personal theory is that it refers to the city of Hamburg, one of the most important coastal cities in north Germany. 1. In Spanish, the H is silent, and not pronounced in a word like Hamburg 2. In Spanish, the city is called "Hamburgo", with the added O at the end.
A possible spelling mistake by a Spanish-speaking contributor? It's possible, but as I said, this is only a theory. However, the article states it was in Rotterdam first, and then in "Amburgo", which would make sense, geographically speaking.
However, since I don't quite know if I am correct, I'm not going to edit this, just in case it turns out there's another coastal city somewhere called Amburgo. Neoncitylights 02:52, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
"...the first Schiff 5 was the raider Pinguin" — What is the source of this info? Pinguin was the HSK 5, not Schiff. 85.141.232.154 ( talk) 11:34, 16 February 2008 (UTC) It was me — Karai2 ( talk) 08:08, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
My father was on that ship. It was never called HSK 5. It was "Schiff 5" called. Pinguin was Schiff 33, HSK 5. She was one of the last ships which left Hela. Siegfried Lenz was one of the cadets. Greetings from Germany H. Fahrenkrog-- 87.184.170.87 ( talk) 19:40, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
