You are correct. Perhaps his name has an alternate spelling.
There are several ships christened Karnak.
Here is one that might fit:
“Karnak (4) 1926 built by Flensburger Schiffsbau Gesellschaft, Flensburg | 1926 to Hapag, 1940 renamed Hermes for German Navy, 1941 scuttled by own crew in South Atlantic to avoid capture.”
