USS stands for United States Ship.
HMS is Her Majesties Ship
Some civilian vessel abbreviations:
MV = Motor Vessel
MY = Motor Yatch
SV= Sail Vessel
SS = Steam Ship

United States Ship is the correct answer. The HMS of the Royal Navy means instead Her Majesty's Ship.

What else are you going to do with them? The U.S. military grew by potential of orders-of-magnitude for the duration of the conflict and in that 4 years naval technologies experienced a great revolution. After the tip of the conflict no longer in easy terms did the U.S. military no longer desire something like that many ships yet a great form of them have been effectively out of date. So why pay to maintain some thing around this is of no fee? That gets very high priced. because it develop into the army maintained many hundreds of WWII outfitted ships properly into the 1980's - maximum of which by no potential placed to sea back after 1945. contained in terms of the DD-638 united statesButler especially the deliver develop into of the pre-conflict Gleaves classification. at an identical time as this develop into the only classification of pre-conflict layout destroyers the army stored in any respect after 1945 maximum persons that survived into the 1950's and 60's did so contained in the mothball fleet, saved for some achieveable destiny contingency. whether this develop into no longer likely as after 1945 ships of this classification have been seen too small and cramped to fulfill submit-conflict standards. The Butler develop into no longer one in each of those saved whether as she have been heavily broken in would 1945 by potential of bomb attack and by potential of the time she limped back to the states the conflict develop into over and there develop right into a surplus of completely good undamaged destroyers. subsequently she develop into stricked and offered for scrap quite than being repaired at great value in easy terms to be left to languish for 2 a protracted time in mothballs.
