Her Majesty's Australian Ship (HMAS) is the designation of any Australian warship, as well as many major Australian naval bases such as HMAS Stirling. It derives from "Her Majesty's Ship" (HMS) used in the United Kingdom. The British monarch is also equally and separately the Australian head of state. Should the Queen be replaced by a King, the designation also changes to "His" rather than "Her" Majesty. Ships bearing this designation are the responsibility of the Royal Australian Navy. In October 1911 King George V fixed his signature to the approval for the Royal Australian Navy and from that date all ships officially received the designation.

Her Majesty's Australian Ship. Australia is still a member of the British Commonwealth, with a British Governor-General and the British Sovereign (the Queen) is still the Head of State.

Easy, declare non-historical whale hunting equipment and whale meat illegal in Australia. Countries have the international legal rights to declare this just look and gun that are legal in the US and illegal here. That gives us the legal right to arrest the ship, captain and crew, just like people smugglers.
