DSSV Pressure Drop sounded like a Culture ship name to me so I looked that up. It's not, but the name of the DDSV, "Limiting Factor", is. Apparently they also named their utility boats after Culture ships.

To those who don't know: "The Culture" is a... society(?) of godlike AI ships/minds from the series of SF books by Ian M. Banks.

SpaceX named their landing barges after Culture ships too, the "Of Course I Still Love You", "Just Read The Instructions" and "A Shortfall of Gravitas".

There's definitely an MSV Pressure Drop on that page, under the list of ships in Hydrogen Sonata. :)

And that wiki directly mentions DSSV Pressure Drop because the expedition support ship of the Five Deeps Expedition has utility boats named after Culture ships: Little Rascal, Liveware Problem, and Learned Response.
