Tibbets was in command of the Enola Gay, Captain Smith helmed the Titanic. "Jones" doesn't sound German, so go with "Mayflower".

A pity - but as soon as Chase said what she did, I thought Clayton would go down. I suspect he was right about the 50:50, which wouldn't have helped. Of course there was the time factor - the question aired after the MQOD, meaning that he was going to either walk away or answer incorrectly.
