At random: Nautilus has long been a popular name for a submarine. Some of the more famous of these are Robert Fulton's NAUTILUS (1800), Jules Verne's fictional Nautilus, and the NAUTILUS of Sir Hubert Wilkins in which he attempted a voyage to the North Pole under the ice (1931). There have also been three U.S. submarines of that name, including the world's first nuclear powered submarine built by the Electric Boat Division.

Two days before his interment, I was in the hospital for an operation on my left knee.
Otherwise I would have been there.

I miss him.

It was a beautiful ceremony and well attended. I gave the box with his ashes a farewell pat saying goodbye just before they closed the niche.
