It occurred to me that the "H" in HMS stands for "his" or "her" depending on whether the monarch is a male or female.
I wonder, what's going to happen when the woke idiots get their hands on it and insist it's changed.
And what could it possibly be changed to?

- HMS: It could be retained, interpreting 'H' as 'His/Her' Majesty's Ship, depending on the reigning monarch, as it's been historically.
- UMS: 'Unified Majesty's Ship' could be an option, which neutralizes gender but keeps the royal connection.
- RMS: 'Royal Majesty's Ship' is another possibility that maintains the regal aspect without specifying gender.
