'''Awalan kapal''' adalah awalan atau gelar, biasanya berupa singkatan, di depan nama [[kapal]] sipil atau kapal milik negara yang menunjukkan jenis [[mesin]] atau [[bahan bakar]], fungsi, atau kepemilikan kapal.<ref name="marineinsight">{{Cite news|url=https://www.marineinsight.com/types-of-ships/what-are-ship-prefixes-for-naval-and-merchant-vessels/|title=What are Ship Prefixes for Navy and Merchant Vessels?|last=Dasgupta|first=Soumyajit|date=2013-03-04|work=Marine Insight|access-date=2018-10-30|language=en-US}}</ref> Penggunaan awalan kapal pada kapal sipil tidak selalu konsisten, sedangkan pada kapal milik negara awalan kapal biasanya diatur oleh regulasi.
[[Kapal perang]] di bawah [[angkatan laut]] suatu negara umumnya memiliki satu awalan, dan awalan lain digunakan untuk kapal pendukung, seperti kapal milik [[Penjaga pantai dan laut|kesatuan penjaga pantai]]. Akan tetapi, tidak semua angkatan laut menggunakan awalan kapal. [[Angkatan laut perairan biru]] yang tidak memiliki awalan kapal adalah Prancis, Brazil, Tiongkok, Rusia, Jerman, dan Spanyol. Terkadang, awalan kapal diberikan oleh pihak eksternal terhadap kapal tanpa awalan guna memudahkan identifikasi. Hal ini dilakukan pada kapal-kapal dari beberapa negara anggota [[Organisasi Pakta Pertahanan Atlantik Utara|NATO]].
'''Awalan kapal''' atau '''prefiks kapal''' adalah awalan atau gelar berupa singkatan di depan nama [[kapal]] umum atau kapal [[angkatan laut]] yang menunjukkan jenis, fungsi, dan kepemilikan kapal.
== Pemakaian ==
[[Berkas:KN Tanjung Datu (1101), Indonesian Maritime Security Agency, 23 march 2018.jpg|jmpl|''KN'' Tanjung Datu]]
Dalam sejarahnya, awalan untuk kapal umum, sering mengidentifikasi mesin atau bahan bakar kapal, seperti, SS (''steam-ship'') yang berarti kapal uap, MV (''motor-vessel'') yang berarti kapal motor, atau PS (''paddle steamer'' yang berarti kapal dayung).
[[Berkas:Sabuk nusantara-46.jpg|jmpl|''KM'' Sabuk Nusantara 46]]
[[Berkas:HMS Dragon (D35) Type 45 Destroyer. (8192794536).jpg|jmpl|''HMS'' Dragon (''D''35)]]
Dalam sejarahnya, awalan untuk kapal sipil umumnya menunjukkan jenis penggerak atau bahan bakar kapal. Contohnya adalah SS ({{Lang-en|screw steamer}}) untuk [[kapal uap]], MV ({{Lang-en|motor vessel}}) untuk [[kapal motor]], atau PS ({{Lang-en|paddle steamer}}) untuk [[kapal uap kincir]].<ref name="marineinsight" /> Awalan yang menunjukkan fungsi kapal juga umum digunakan, seperti TB ({{Lang-en|tug boat}}) untuk [[kapal tunda]] atau [[Royal Mail Ship|RMS]] ({{Lang-en|Royal Mail ship}}) untuk kapal pengangkut surat yang melayani [[Royal Mail]].
Kini, penggunaan awalan kapal untuk kapal sipil biasanya tidak konsisten dan dapat ditiadakan. Perkembangan teknologi juga memunculkan berbagai jenis kapal baru dengan fungsi yang spesifik dan ditunjukkan dengan awalan kapal yang semakin beragam, seperti LPGC ({{Lang-en|liquified petroleum gas carrier}}) untuk kapal pengangkut [[gas minyak cair]] atau RV ({{Lang-en|research vessel}}) untuk kapal penelitian. Akan tetapi, awalan kapal tersebut terkadang hanya digunakan untuk keperluan dokumen resmi.
Sebagian negara juga memakai awalan kapal untuk menunjukkan fungsi utama dari kapal, misalnya seperti [[Britania Raya]] memakai awalan RMS (''Royal Mail Ship'') yang berarti kapal pengantar surat, atau RV ([[kapal penelitian]]).
Di [[Indonesia]], awalan kapal sipil yang umum digunakan adalah KM (kapal motor), KMP (kapal motor penyeberangan), dan KT (kapal tunda). Penggunaan awalan kapal tidak diatur secara khusus oleh pemerintah, sehingga penggunaannya dapat tercantum dalam dokumen resmi kapal ataupun tidak. Pemilihan awalan kapal dibebaskan kepada pemilik kapal, sehingga awalan berbahasa Inggris juga marak digunakan pada kapal berbendera Indonesia.
Kapal yang digunakan untuk kepentingan militer, awalan kapal menunjukkan kepemilikan dan juga menunjukkan jenis atau fungsi kapal. Contohnya, [[Angkatan Laut Britania Raya]] biasanya menggunakan awalan HMS (''His/Her Majesty's Ship''), singkatan dari "Kapal Yang Mulia". Angkatan Laut negara-negara [[Persemakmuran Bangsa-Bangsa|Persemakmuran Britania]] memakai awalan yang menunjukkan asal kapal dari negara tersebut. misalnya, HMAS (''His/Her Majesty's Australian Ship'') dimiliki oleh [[Australia]], HMCS (''His/Her Majesty's Canadian Ship'') dimiliki oleh [[Kanada]], dan HMNZS (''His/Her Majesty's New Zealander Ship'') dimiliki oleh [[Selandia Baru]].
Pada kapal angkatan laut, awalan kapal utamanya menunjukkan kepemilikan kapal. Beberapa contohnya adalah KRI (Kapal Republik Indonesia) untuk kapal [[Tentara Nasional Indonesia Angkatan Laut|TNI Angkatan Laut]], HMS ({{Lang-en|His/Her Majesty's Ship}}) untuk kapal [[Angkatan Laut Britania Raya|Angkatan Laut Kerajaan Britania Raya]], dan USS ({{Lang-en|United States Ship}}) untuk kapal [[Angkatan Laut Amerika Serikat]]. Awalan kapal yang digunakan oleh suatu angkatan laut dapat menggunakan bahasa nasional negaranya atau menggunakan bahasa Inggris, seperti KD ({{Lang-ms|Kapal Diraja}}) untuk kapal [[Angkatan Laut Kerajaan Malaysia]] dan JS ({{Lang-en|Japanese Ship}}) untuk kapal [[Angkatan Laut Bela Diri Jepang]].
Sedangkan awalan kapal untuk Angkatan Laut Amerika Serikat hanya berlaku secara resmi ketika kapal masih aktif dipakai untuk kepentingan militer.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.marineinsight.com/types-of-ships/what-are-ship-prefixes-for-naval-and-merchant-vessels/|title=What are Ship Prefixes for Navy and Merchant Vessels?|last=Dasgupta|first=Soumyajit|date=2013-03-04|work=Marine Insight|access-date=2018-10-30|language=en-US}}</ref> Beberapa negara termasuk [[Tiongkok]], [[Prancis]], dan [[Rusia]] tidak mengadopsi sistem awalan kapal di angkatan laut.
Selain kepemilikan kapal, angkatan laut dari berbagai negara juga memakai awalan untuk menunjukkan jenis kapal. Beberapa negara pernah memiliki awalan yang menggabungkan kepemilikan dengan jenis kapal, seperti HMM ({{Lang-en|His/Her Majesty's Monitor}}) untuk [[kapal monitor]] Britania Raya dan USF ({{Lang-en|United States Frigate}}) untuk [[Fregat|kapal fregat]] Amerika Serikat. Sejak abad ke-20, awalan untuk jenis kapal umumnya diberikan sebagai kode huruf terpisah dari awalan kepemilikan, dan terkadang diiringi oleh [[nomor lambung]]. Kode huruf awalan untuk jenis kapal diatur oleh peraturan masing-masing negara.
Sejak abad ke-20, banyak angkatan laut dari berbagai negara memakai awalan untuk menunjukkan kode kapal yang memakai kombinasi huruf dan [[nomor lambung]]. Kode kapal ini biasanya ditandai di tiap sisi kapal. Setiap angkatan laut memiliki sistemnya sendiri yang telah diatur.{{Sfn|Naval History And Heritage Command}}
Beberapa angkatan laut memberikan awalan kapal hanya pada kapal yang sedang aktif berdinas. Pada Angkatan Laut Amerika Serikat, kapal hanya disebut dengan nama tanpa awalan USS pada saat sebelum dan setelah masa dinas. Pada [[Angkatan Laut Australia|Angkatan Laut Kerajaan Australia]], kapal baru yang belum memasuki masa dinas diberi awalan NUSHIP ({{Lang-en|New ship}}), dan kemudian mendapat awalan HMAS ({{Lang-en|His/Her Majesty's Australian Ship}}) saat berdinas.
== Awalan kapal niaga ==
[[Berkas:Balder_Viking_in_Aberdeen.jpg|jmpl| AHTS ''Balder Viking'' ]]
Di sisi lain, beberapa negara seperti [[Tiongkok]], [[Prancis]], dan [[Rusia]] tidak mengadopsi sistem awalan kapal di angkatan laut.<ref name="marineinsight" /> Terdapat juga angkatan laut yang hanya menggunakan awalan untuk jenis kapal secara internal, tanpa awalan kepemilikan untuk penggunaan internasional. Selain angkatan laut, berbagai instansi pemerintahan juga menggunakan awalan kapal.
[[Berkas:Mighty_Seillean_FPSO_in_Brazil.jpg|jmpl| FPSO ''Noble Seillean'' ]]
Berikut ini daftar awalan yang digunakan untuk kapal niaga.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.marineinsight.com/types-of-ships/what-are-ship-prefixes-for-naval-and-merchant-vessels/|title=What are Ship Prefixes for Navy and Merchant Vessels?|last=Dasgupta|first=Soumyajit|date=2013-03-04|work=Marine Insight|access-date=2018-10-30|language=en-US}}</ref>
