Simple Date Format Parsing -getting incorrect result

Date dateShipped = new SimpleDateFormat( "yyyy-MM-dd HH:MM:SS.SSS" ).parse("2013-08-29 22:41:03.537");
SimpleDateFormat fmt =  new SimpleDateFormat("dd MMM yyyy",Locale.ENGLISH);
System.out.println(fmt.format(dateShipped));

this results 29 May 2016

Why is the result different?

Date Pattern Letters

new SimpleDateFormat( "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:SS.SSS" )

instead of

new SimpleDateFormat( "yyyy-MM-dd HH:MM:SS.SSS" )

MM for Month and mm for Minutes

Change MM(uppercase) of minutes to mm (lowercase) 

    Date dateShipped = new SimpleDateFormat( "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:SS.SSS" ).parse("2013-08-29 22:41:03.537");
    SimpleDateFormat fmt =  new SimpleDateFormat("dd MMM yyyy",Locale.ENGLISH);
    System.out.println(fmt.format(dateShipped));

try changing your code as following 

Date dateShipped = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:SS.SSS").parse("2013-08-29 22:41:03.537");
