Seiner Majestät Yacht Hohenzern III (A45) (His Majesty's Yacht Hohenzern III) is the current imperial yacht of the Englean Kaiserreich, operated by the House of Hohenzern and the Kaiserliche-Marine. Within its status as the Imperial Yacht, the Hohenzern III serves as the residence for the Englean Imperial Family during official state visits and during cruises within Englean territories. The vessel was ordered in 1928, and was delayed in construction until 1932 when it was officially completed. The vessel is also capable of being a mobile command centre in case of emergencies, acting as a backup to the Steinbacker Kaiseradler.
