Propulsion. Propulsion provides the forward motion. The actual motion itself is called by the nautical term "way" as in "under way". It is the same term as applied to a surface ship and comes from the time well before steam power.

In the Aqua Grabber instructions they call it a 'sub', which is usually short for submarine but could actually refer to either one.
