Not all ships have "HMS" as a prefix. "HMS" stands for "Her Majesty's Ship" and is used specifically for ships in the Royal Navy of the United Kingdom. Other navies use different prefixes, such as "USS" for United States Navy ships or "HMAS" for Royal Australian Navy ships. Commercial and private vessels typically do not use these naval designations.
