Thanks. I was thinking it was a homage to a story I believe was mentioned in "The War Below" about two mice living in the Silversides, crew named them, they were kind of like pets ( I believe, will have to check back) , they gave them names. One disappeared, they believe it went into a torpedo tube when was opened.
