A ship would pass on and receive letters when arriving at a scheduled port. Or, if they meet a ship heading home, while they may be heading away, letters and other mail would be exchanged. A fleet of naval ships on station, or blockading a foreign port, might send a smaller ship home with the fleets mail, and to bring back admiralty orders.

What does the letters HMS stand for?

H.M.S. is the acronymic prefix placed in front of the name of vessels of the Royal Navy of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. The letters stand for "Her Majesty's Ship" or "Her Majesty's Submarine" The great beauty of the prefix lies in the ability of two of the letters to represent two different words. The "H" being able to represent "His" when the Sovreign is male and "Her" when the Sovreign is female, as at present. The "S" can be used to represent "Ship" or "Submarine". Variations are used in the Navies of Commonwealth Realms (The 15 countries that share Elizabeth II as their head of state). Typically these variations incorporate the initial letters of the name of the country between the M and the S. e.g. Australian Navy ships are prefixed H.M.A.S. New Zealand ships are prefixed H.M.N.Z.S. Canadian ships are prefixed H.M.C.S. Jamaican ships are prefixed H.M.J.S. Barbads ships are prefixed H.M.B.S.
