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.

Aircraft carriers

Fleet 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

The ships themselves are registered in accordance with Western European practice as Rx, with x being the hull or pennant number.

Light carriers

Light carriers in this category would fall under four United States Navy-derived hull classification symbols:

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

The ships themselves 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.

Light cruisers (6th rate)

Escorts

Destroyers

Frigates

Corvettes

Patrol boats

Offshore patrol vessels

Submarines

Diesel-electric
