==Trivia==
*The ship is named after Archimedes, who was a prominent mathematician, physicist, engineer, astronomer, and inventor from the ancient city of Syracuse, located in Sicily, Italy. He is often celebrated as one of the most significant mathematicians not only of antiquity but throughout history. His work foreshadowed modern calculus and analysis, as he utilized the notion of the infinitely small and the method of exhaustion to derive and rigorously validate numerous geometric theorems.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archimedes</ref>
