Jacques-Yves Cousteau

Jacques-Yves Cousteau (1910-1997) was a 20th century French explorer, environmentalist, and inventor.

The Federation named various shuttle vehicles after him, including the Cousteau, the captain's yacht aboard the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-E), and the Cousteau, a shuttlepod carried aboard the USS Aries. The yacht's dedication plaque contained a quote by Cousteau.
