Post by: Satiagraha on February 07, 2004, 05:42:45 PM

Whats the difference between the prefixes of ship names? (IE. the H.M.S. or U.S.S and other assorted letters) Like the USS Colorado aircraft carrier.

USS = United States Ship.
HMS = Her Majesty's Ship.

One from US, one from UK. There you go. Next question?
