A common grammar mistake is to refer to British warships using the shortened prefix as "... the HMS XYZ". Think about how that translates into longhand as ".... the Her Majesty's Ship XYZ". That's why the correct form should always appear as "... HMS XYZ".
However, American editors will be accustomed to referring to US warships as "... the USS XYZ", and this makes perfect sense when seen in longhand format as "... the United States Ship XYZ".

Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to one external link on
History of the Port of Southampton. Please take a moment to review
my edit. If necessary, add {{
cbignore}}
after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{
nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}}
to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:
When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true to let others know.

I came here for information on the Container Port currently run by DP_World but there is none at all! When was it built? Expanded? What is theCapacity? All I've garnered is that it's the 2nd deepest in UK (after Felixstowe). Pretty sure there's almost as much to say about the Container port as there is the Cruise terminal 86.13.61.50 ( talk) 08:36, 4 September 2016 (UTC)
There are several links here citing work on plimsoll.org. This is a vietnamese marketing site, and has no relevance to this article subject matter. For the time being I can't trace the originally intended citation, if it still exists, but in any case I am going to delete the citations. Afterbrunel ( talk) 16:29, 6 February 2023 (UTC)
