Encyclopedia : R : RO : ROY : Royal Danish Navy

The Royal Danish Navy (or Kongelige Danske Marine in Danish) is the sea-based branch of The Danish Defence force. Danish Navy ships carry the prefix KDM (Kongelige Danske Marine) in Danish, but is translated to HDMS (His / Her Danish Majesty's Ship) in English. During the period 1509-1814 when Denmark was in union with Norway, the Danish Navy was part of the Royal Dano-Norwegian Navy.
