The following lists covers both ships and boats (including submarines) both currently and formerly in service with the [[Royal Isselmere-Nieland Navy|Royal Navy]] of [[Isselmere-Nieland]] from about the turn of the [[Wikipedia:20th century|twentieth-century]] to the present day.  Locally, the name of a ship or submarine is preceded by the abbreviation '''HMS''' for ''His'' (or ''Her'') ''Majesty's Ship/Submarine'', whereas boats are preceded by the abbreviation '''HMB''' for ''HM Boat''.  Internationally, the names of Isselmere-Nielander naval vessels are preceded by the [[Wikipedia:Acronym|acronym]] '''HINMS''' or '''HINMB''' for ''His/Her Isselmerian and Nielander Majesty's Ship/Submarine/Boat''.

For the purpose of this article, ''Royal Navy'' should be construed to mean the Royal Isselmere-Nieland Navy as opposed to any [[RL|real life]] or another [[NationStates]] country's navy.

==Aircraft carriers==
 +
Aircraft carriers fall into two categories, fleet carriers and light carriers.  Fleet carriers are full-sized aircraft carriers that provide the flexible, long-range strike power of Royal Navy battle fleets.  According to [[RL|real-life]] [[Wikipedia:United States Navy|US Navy]] [[Wikipedia:hull classification symbol|hull classification symbol]]s, fleet carriers are categorised as follows:
 +
*'''CV''' — Fleet carrier
 +
*'''CVB''' — Heavy fleet carrier
 +
Light carriers serve to provide air support to escort groups and as dedicated uncrewed aerial system operations platforms.  Such ships fall under four [[Wikipedia:United States Navy|United States Navy]]-derived [[Wikipedia:hull classification symbol|hull classification symbol]]s:
 +
:'''CVD''' — [[Wikipedia:Unmanned aerial system|uncrewed aerial vehicle]] carrier
 +
:'''CVE''' — escort carrier (to 1947)
 +
:'''CVL''' — light carrier
 +
:'''CVS''' — anti-submarine carrier
 +
All aircraft carriers in Royal Navy service are registered in accordance with Western European practice as '''R''x''''', with '''''x''''' being the hull or [[Wikipedia:pennant number|pennant number]].

1 His Isselmerian and Nielander Majesty's Ship or Submarine.
2 His Isselmerian and Nielander Majesty's Boat.

The following lists covers both ships and boats (including submarines) both currently and formerly in service with the Royal Navy of Isselmere-Nieland from about the turn of the twentieth-century to the present day. Locally, the name of a ship or submarine is preceded by the abbreviation HMS for His (or Her) Majesty's Ship/Submarine, whereas boats are preceded by the abbreviation HMB for HM Boat. Internationally, the names of Isselmere-Nielander naval vessels are preceded by the acronym HINMS or HINMB for His/Her Isselmerian and Nielander Majesty's Ship/Submarine/Boat.

For the purpose of this article, Royal Navy should be construed to mean the Royal Isselmere-Nieland Navy as opposed to any real life or another NationStates country's navy.

Aircraft carriers

Aircraft carriers fall into two categories, fleet carriers and light carriers. Fleet carriers are full-sized aircraft carriers that provide the flexible, long-range strike power of Royal Navy battle fleets. According to real-life US Navy hull classification symbols, fleet carriers are categorised as follows:

  • CV — Fleet carrier
  • CVB — Heavy fleet carrier

Light carriers serve to provide air support to escort groups and as dedicated uncrewed aerial system operations platforms. Such ships fall under four United States Navy-derived hull classification symbols:

CVD — uncrewed aerial vehicle carrier
CVE — escort carrier (to 1947)
CVL — light carrier
CVS — anti-submarine carrier

All aircraft carriers in Royal Navy service are registered in accordance with Western European practice as Rx, with x being the hull or pennant number.

Battleships

Mobile command bases

Heavy command battleships

Heavy battleships (1st rate)

Battleships (2nd rate)

Battleships (3rd-4th rate)

Battleships with a main gun armament less than twenty inches (508 millimetres) in bore diameter. This qualification was deemed irrelevant with the introduction of the Queen Hortense I-class.

Cruisers

Battlecruisers (3rd-4th rate)

Heavy cruisers (5th rate)

With the exception of the Duchy class, which was a light arsenal ship, heavy cruisers differ from their lighter cousins by heavier gun armament and armour. Still, they often possess a strong secondary missile armament. The main role for heavy cruisers in Royal Navy service, again with the exception of the Duchy class, is naval gunfire support.
