HMCS

Can anyone explain why it was HMCS Somers Isles? This looks like "Her Majesty's Canadian Ship". When a more permanent base was established, it was called CFS Bermuda (Canadian Forces Station Bermuda). What, then, would have HMCS meant? Heavenlyblue (talk) 21:32, 15 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Somers Isles was a stone frigate and therefore a commissioned vessel of the RCN. Llammakey (talk) 15:57, 23 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
