  1. His (or Her), Majesty's Ship.  G & S wrote during the reign of Queen Victoria, so in this case it stands for Her Majesty's Ship.  

    USS stands for United States' Ship.


  2. Her Majesty's Service. It's part of the name of ships that  belong to Great Britain. Just like our ships are USS Whatever.
