H.M Coast Guard??? What country are you from? H.M Stands for "Her Majesties", as in "her majesties canadian ship", and is an abbreviation given only to warships. In Canada, Coast Guard is part of the department of Fisheries and Oceans, not the Canadian Forces. In the U.S, the Coast Guard IS part of the armed forces, and its ships are called U.S.S (insert name here)
