But... that's not a boat. Shouldn't it be Subby McSubface?

It's the remotely controlled support vehicle.

Remotey Remoteface?

Droney McDroneface?
Subs are boats.
They're subnautical vehicles. They're beneath that.
The German name, "Unterseeboat", and the English adaptation, "U-boat" both imply that they are a type of boat.
I'm starting to suspect some dark humour here. But it runs silent, runs deep. And seems to have gotten all wet.
