A number of ships of the Royal Danish Navy have carried the name Elefanten, or Elephanten.
The modern translation of the English word "Elephant" in Danish-English dictionaries is "Elefant". The suffix -en is the definite article in Danish.
All the following except Elephanten (1703) are listed at The Royal Danish Naval Museum's Skibregister: most but not all have record cards on line at this register.
The four ships built launched betweeen 1703 and 1802 are spelt Elephanten in the Royal Danish Naval Museum's List of Ships.
