USS WAHOO

Can anyone tell me how USS Wahoo got its name, and is the search engine Yahoo a play on this name?

Reading a little on USS Whahoo's captain some say he was unhinged but a brave and excellent submariner.

"The artist Petreshock, himself a veteran of war patrols aboard USS Redfin, Angler and Darter, entitled his work "Wahoo is Expendable" after the words of Mush Morton. Her CO uttered the famous phrase during a flaming, pre-patrol pep talk in which he told each member of his crew to request a transfer if he was not prepared to go in harm's way and take the fight to the enemy. As the inscription on the print testifies, "There were no requests for transfers!"

Maybe the arcade type players among us are modelling themselves on him
