The link I posted is on a website dedicated to urban myths. It also says on the second line that the status of it is undetermined (ie unable to verify if it was true or false.)

I think Taks and Davids explanations are equally plausible. Perhaps a letter should be drafted to Mitsubishi (Japan, Aus, US?) asking if they have a definitive answer. Or track down and tie down the cheif executive of Mitsubishi Japan at the time and say we'll tickle him and won't stop until he tells the truth!! :D

Well there we go, a named based on the naval service. Who here agrees this deprives them of the right to pick shit at any other vechiles name? *raises hand*
