Er.. the disambiguation of this page seems a bit bizarre, given the fact that most of these supposed users of HMS are quite obscure (Harvard Medical School perhaps being an exception) to the extent that as of yet none of them have a page on Wikipedia. Surely such disambiguation of a TLA should only be considered when new articles warrant such moves and not before (I'm tempted to add Hairy Man's Stubble to the list), and even then when the TLA is overwhelmingly associated with one particular concept (and I'm thinking BBC here) that should take precedence for ease of linking if nothing else.

"Hans Majestäts Skepp (His Majesty's ship) or Hennes Majestäts Skepp (Her Majesty's Ship), the prefix of Royal Swedish Navy ship names", shouldn't this be on the Swedish wikipedia only? Pipatron (talk) 08:02, 27 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The designation is part of a ships name and should be used world wide thus should stay.(86.31.190.183 (talk) 02:43, 18 October 2008 (UTC))[reply]
