List of ship names of the Royal Navy
|
This is an alphabetical list of all the names of ships that have ever been in service with the Royal Navy. Many of the names have been re-used over the years and thus represent more than one ship.
Altogether over 13,000 ships have been in service with the Royal Navy.[1]
Note that, unlike many other naval services, the Royal Navy designates certain types of shore establishment (e.g. barracks and naval airfields) as 'ships' and names them accordingly. These establishments are often referred to in service slang as stone frigates.
Due to the large number of names the list has been split into smaller lists
A B C D-F G-H I-L M-N O-Q R-T U-Z
Fictional
Many novels about the Royal Navy feature fictional ships, but most use real names. This is a list of fictional names of note.
