All aboard the Limiting Factor

The late Scottish author Iain Banks has been remembered in a US adventurer’s expedition to visit the deepest points in every ocean... Victor Vescovo is the first person to complete the feat, diving in a submarine named after a spaceship in Banks’ science-fiction stories... the Limiting Factor.
I naturally wonder how many other ship names Vescovo and his team considered, as the Limiting Factor is one of the least mad options.
