The following is a list of Royal Navy ship names by name in alphabetical order, both past and present. Many of the names have been re-used over the years and thus may represent several different ships.

Note that, in contra-distinction to many other naval services, the Royal Navy designates certain types of shore establishment (e.g. barracks and naval airfields) as 'ships' and names them accordingly. These establishments are often referred to in service slang as stone frigates.

Lists by type

(Note that this list still lacks many important ships.)
