Are they going to name it the "von Trapp"?

THat wouldn't be unreasonable - George von Trapp was one the early
submarine test pilots, and had a very successful record in WW 1,
inlcluding sinking the Italian Protected Cruiser Leon Gambretta in the
first night attack by a submarine, and sinking an Italian sup iv one
of the first sub-sub torpedo duels. The Austro-Hungarian submarine
force was probably the best of that war. They acheived an overall hit
rate of 90% of torpedos fired.

His first wife, the mother of most of the kids, was the
Granddaughter of Robert Whitehead, the inventer of the self-propelled
("Automobile" back then) torpedo.
