A Pair of Easy Ones?

Dear Linguaphiles,

I have a pair of Russian questions; How to say Owl and Ocean Owl? In Latin characters of course.

Backstory: I have a alt-history series I am working on, The Anglo-American Imperium. Their principal opponent is the Russian Empire.

The names above are for a twin engine bomber, the Kuznetsov KU-14 [it's much like the JU-88 and is just as significant on this timeline]. It is called the Owl and the maritime version, the Ocean Owl.

Note: this is very much a Romanov Russia. I understand that has some effect upon the use of language.

Spacibo in advance...
