Historic Welsh Ships (Welsh History Post Glyndwr)

This page is dedicated to the fleet lists of the Welsh Navy since its inception. The Welsh Navy was instituted by King Hywel I in 1508 with the launch of the first Welsh warship the LPM Dewi Sant. Following that launch the Welsh Navy would grow and retract as all navies would over the course of their histories.

The prefix LPM is short-hand for Llong Prydeinig ei Mawrhydi or in English "His Brythonic Majesties Ship" (In English speaking countries Welsh ships are known by the English abbreviation HBMS)

The dates next to the ships names shows the period of service seen by that particular vessel.
