I am aware of what HMS, RMS and SS mean...I was just trying to point out I remember it being referred to as RMS Titanic. :)

HMS= Her Magistys Steamer, RMS= Royal Mail Steamer, SS= Steam Ship
I have heard her called all three at one point in time or another, But yes, RMS is what I have heard the most, Sorry for my mistake.

i am totally for the replica of the titanic. but would it stay at one place like a museum or be a sailing ship like the real titanic?

I've heard of people wanting to rasie Titanic before they knew it was broken in 2. I think they'd be better off making an exact copy of it that wasn't made of iron but something a lot stronger. Plus, if they were to raise Titanic, it probably wouldn't be safe to use and would fall apart easily. If they were to make a copy of Titanic, it would be a lot stronger and safer to use. I agree with screaminranger on the artifacts. They need to go study them where they are, and make models of them to put in museums. This way, people learn about Titanic, but aren't damaging it in the process. Think copies.

Actually, wasn't it the RMS Titanic?

I don't think they should try to raise the Titanic, it is in too fragile of a state now to do so even if it was tecnologicly possible. As for it becoming one with the ocean floor, we still have all of the photos and videos from all of the expiditions to the ship to remember her by, and as they say a picture is worth a thousand words. I do not agree with the removal of the artifacts from the ship it's self because of all the damage people are causing like the collapsed promenade deck from all of the subs and stuff landing on it, and the crows nest that was there in 1985 when Dr Ballard found the ship and is now missing because someone ripped the bell off of the mast where the crows nest once was. Also, the people that are going down and retriving artifacts are doing it for money and not the preservation of the history, if they were doing it for that they would be giving them to musems and not auctioning them off to the highest bidder. Yes I know it is expensive to fund these expiditions for artifact retrival, but I think they could get grants and private investors to help fund the dives the way Dr Ballard did on his first expidition when he found the HMS Titanic.
