Nah, Those Island freaks may keep their "Royal p... err, Navy".
We Dutch have our "Koninklijke Marine".
The Swedish have something un-pronounceable. 
The Belgians first have to learn how to swim.
And most others have either no Royalty or no Navy. 

;^P 
Just incase some 'American' thinks I am serious.
