    HMS stands for Her Majesty Ship. They really name their ships this way? 😐

        Its fucking cringe, and they even double down by naming them after monarchs 🥴

          Historical RN naming scheme was quite fun, especially when ships with names like “Invincible” were obliterated by single salvo, but nowadays it’s almost as boring as US Navy.

              Inflexible

              This one wasn’t even the funniest, look at the previous ship of that name, they for some reason copied Italy’s most crazed design and of course came up with a worse version, not to mention even the base idea while it could have some merit for Italy, had no sense whatsoever for UK.

              Britain, refusing to bend to the waves since King Knut. Their royals have a flair for dramatic irony.
