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