In Royal Navy destroyer HMS 'Culver' would be more oficially called Her Majesty's Destroyer 'Culver'.
How does it reffers to Kriegsmarine? As far as I know, KMS wasn't used by Kriegsmarine. Were there any such an oficial schemes like in RN?
For example: (KMS) Scharnhorst while being presented on very oficial fleet parade would be called 'Schalchtschiff Scharnhorst' or in a different way?
Don't worry, be crazy ;]

That would be His Majesty's Ship Culver, if we're talking of WWII as we had a king on the throne then, today of course it would be Her Majesty's Ship

You're right Simon O., but I'd like to know how would be called Scharnhorst in official documents. So Schalchtschiff Scharnhorst, yes?

I believe
Scharnhorst would be called
Scharnhorst
in official documents. German ships at that time did not have any prefix for their names.

Where does KMS come from then? Someone must have used it somewhere?

Kriegsmarine Schiffe. Roughly the equivalent of RNS Warspite or USNS Enterprise.
