Nautilus

Famous fictional submarine

Nautilus is the submarine commanded by Captain Nemo in Jules Verne's *Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea*, lending its name to the first nuclear-powered submarine, USS Nautilus.

NASA also used Nautilus for a SpaceX cargo module.

The name evokes undersea exploration and technological ambition. (Lowercase nautilus is the marine mollusk.)
