Identification and naming
In addition to the place name, most bases have an additional name in the style of a warship, starting with the abbreviation HMS for Her Majety's Ship . This name always has a historical or symbolic connection with the base. In addition, the type of base, with the exception of training facilities of the Royal Navy, is indicated by the following abbreviations:
- HMNB = Her / His Majesty's Naval Base (naval base)
- RNAS = Royal Naval Air Station (air base)
- RMB = Royal Marine Base (base of the Royal Marines)
