Her Majesty's Canadian Ship

Her Majesty's Canadian Ship (HMCS) is the English designation of any Canadian warship. It derives from "Her Majesty's Ship" (HMS) used in the United Kingdom. The British monarch is also the [[Queen of Canada|Canadian head of state]]. Should the queen be replaced by a king, the designation also changes to "His" rather than "Her" Majesty.

Navire canadien de Sa Majesté (NCSM) is the equally official French version of the title. Unlike the English version, the phrase remains unchanged if the monarch is male.
