Royal Mail Ship (or Steamer), usually seen in its abbreviated form RMS, is the ship prefix used of any seagoing vessel that carries mail under contract to the British Royal Mail.

the R.M.S. stands for Royal Mail Steamer since the Titanic carried mail across the Atlantic as well as cargo + passengers. although that mail didn't get to its destination b/c the ship sank

HMS = His/Her Majesty's Ship (depending on whether the sovereign is a King or a Queen.
RMS = Royal Merchant Ship
No...Royal Mail Ship, like these guys are saying is probably correct.

RMS = Root Mean Squared, as in 0.707 times half peak to peak.= Normally this is a power rating. Like if youve ever heard of 120VAC, and you look at it with an oscope, it's like a 350 volt peak to peak waveform.

British ships were titled RMS for "Royal Majesty's Ship", though I have somteimes heard the "S" to mean "Service"

Royal Mail Ship
apparently, the ship needed to carry mail bags to receive this designation. sounds much more important than mail carrier, doesn't it?

Are you sure that's not HMS... HMS is Her Majesty's Service. Maybe RMS is Royal Majesty's Service. It's a guess, anyway.
