They got it wrong....

H.M.S. is only used by ships of the Royal Navy. Other navies have some indication of the country in the title e.g. HMNZS for New Zealand.

Gotland is a name that has never been used and never will be used for a ship of the Royal Navy.

Also the Royal Navy does not have their national flag on their uniform as many others do.
