Talk:His/Her Dutch Majesty's Ship

Silly article edit

This is not a great article, in my opinion. Firstly, it doesn't cite any references. Secondly, it claims that HNLMS is an incorrect translation of the Dutch Hr.Ms. or Zr.Ms., where there isn't any evidence that it was intended as a literal translation: obviously "Netherlands" wouldn't have been included if it was. Thirdly, there isn't really enough material here for an article, a section within Royal Netherlands Navy would suffice. Fourthly, if it is going to be a separate article, I think it should be at HNLMS, as the abbreviation is seen a lot more commonly than "His/Her Dutch Majesty's Ship".

I added a section Royal_Netherlands_Navy#Ship_prefixes. I suggest redirecting this article there. Horatio (talk) 01:47, 31 July 2013 (UTC)Reply
