The Royal Yacht Britannia, which was a commissioned ship in the Royal Navy, was known as HMY Britannia. (See, for example, HMS/m Tireless, at IWM). Submarines in Her Majesty's service also use the prefix "HMS", standing for "Her Majesty's Submarine", though this is sometimes rendered "HMS/m". From 1707 to circa 1800 HBMS (for His Britannic Majesty's Ship) was also used. The first recorded use of the abbreviated form "HMS" was in 1789, in respect of HMS Phoenix. ĭuring the late 17th century, following the Restoration, the name Royal Navy was officially adopted, as well as the prefix His Majesty's Ship, and later, Her Majesty's Ship. With regard to the separate English and Scottish navies of the medieval period and early modern era, historians usually use terms such as "English Ship" or "Scottish Ship". 2 Commonwealth realms and former British Empire.
