Nope - "HMS" stands for "Her Majesty's Ship" (or His, depending on the ruler of the moment), and U.S. submarines, like all U.S. Navy commissioned warships, use "USS", or "United States Ship".

"HMS" is only used on ships or submarines within the realm of British Monarch (currently Queen Elizabeth II), primarily used by the British Royal Navy. It would also include navies from any country her realm, though they add their own country abbreviation within the acronym. Countries that include the acronym that have submarines are:

Canada: Her Majesty's Canadian Ship (HMCS) - Royal Canadian Navy

Australia: Her Majesty's Australian Ship (HMAS) - Royal Australian Navy
