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.

More proof, if any was needed, that the WWII generation must have been made of sterner stuff. Not just these two, but other centenarians around the world have been celebrating their 100th birthdays by jumping out of planes to skydive. The South African lady in the second clip followed her third parachute jump by going shark cage diving two days later. Truly amazing people - Bravo Zulu
