Actually, I dropped the endless HMS on every ship name after typing them all in on the first draft, because it looked repetitive and useless. Going back and looking at the books in my library, I see that the abbrevs are almost never supplied even when they would be handy, as in detailed accounts of battles with ships of multiple navies intertwined. Manual of Style doesn't seem to comment tho, just wants to make sure we don't italicize the abbreviation. Stan Shebs 21:28 Feb 20, 2003 (UTC)

[edit] Mr Midshipman Easy was autobiographical?
Much of that story borders on the outlandish. Semi-autobiographical, maybe? --Badger151 01:39, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
