Poor Jim, always getting picked on.

I was going to ask why it was that a British sub was named after a North American aboriginal people, before I remembered that Canada had the boat, making Ojibwa a perfectly sensible name. Hey, it's early and I'm still getting my coffee.

Yup, the first three O class boats sent to Canada were all named for N. American tribes.

Today, somebody would protest the naming and force them to change it.
