One last thing I wonder about, I watched the movie about Brittanic On youtube, but in the movie the ship is sunk by a german inteligence agent with liquid detonator explosives not by a torpedo's. In real life however it is sunk by a sea mine.

Well, you know movies. They edit parts about these things to make it more exciting.  ;)

Also, I believe you can use both, so: His/Her Majesty Hospital Ship

I guess it depends if there was a king or a queen at the time... ;)
