English term or phrase: HMS Bounty

(...) a small ship named HMS Bounty.

HMS deu ser her Majesty's Service? Pero i el Bounty?

No se si el nom del vaixell s'ha traduit al catala o no...
En cas que sigui que no, no creieu que el podria deixar en original a la traduccio catalana?

Gracies per avancat :)

HMS Bounty

Explanation:
Crec que HMS correspon a Her Majesty's Ship (com avui en dia es fa servir el USS: United States Ship).
Com a nom propi d'un vaixell, jo el deixaria talment en anglès. En tot cas, 'bounty' significa 'botí' o 'recompensa' (cf. un 'bounty hunter' - caçarecompenses). No crec que quedés gaire bé traduir-ne el nom: HMS Botí??

Tu mateixa. Un plaer.

Explanation:
Crec que no cal traduir el nom. HMS vol dir Her/His Majesty's Ship.

Espero que t'ajudi una mica.

La tripulación del Bounty, por ejemplo, se negó a cambiarle el nombre cuando
el teniente Christian Fletcher se los propuso para evadir la encarnizada
persecución que les inició su comandante, el capitán William Bligh,
prefiriendo el riesgo de ser atrapados a desatar la ira de los dioses, cuyos
castigos temían como más horrendos que la horca que les esperaba por haberse
amotinados. Recordemos que la tripulación del Bounty, con el teniente
Fletcher a la cabeza, se amotinó en el Pacífico occidental luego que el
despótico y cruel capitán Bligh los sometiera a infortunios para conservar
el árbol del pan, en abril de 1789.
