Identification and naming

In addition to the place name most bases carry an additional name in the style of a warship, beginning with the abbreviation HMS for Her Majety 's Ship. This name is always in a historic or symbolic connection with the base. In addition, the nature of the base, with the exception of training facilities of the Royal Navy, indicated by the following abbreviations:

  • HMNB = Her / His Majesty's Naval Base ( naval base )
  • = RNAS Royal Naval Air Station ( Aerodrome )
  • RMB = Royal Marine Base ( base of the Royal Marines)
