Please don't insert "HMS" into lists of ships - it is contrary to policy, and completely unnecessary. See Wikipedia:WikiProject Ships/Guidelines, particularly "Later references to the same ship in the article should just use the ship's name, still in italics". There is a reason the lists don't have prefixes in. The guidelines used to be quite explicit in this respect - "You may give the ship's prefix the first time you introduce the ship, but you should not repeat it on future mentions. You need not give the prefix at all if it is obvious from the context (for example, in a list of ships of the Royal Navy there is no need to repeat "HMS" each time)." 2.101.37.166 (talk) 16:43, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
