'''Cannon''' was the ''[[USS Khai Tam|Khai Tam]]'' nickname for James Lewis. Members of the club who were particularly active or noteworthy generally were given (or adopted) nicknames.

==Origin==
James's nickname was inspired by his striking resemblance to ''Frank Cannon'' (played by William Conrad) of the early 70s television detective drama, '''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannon_%28TV_series%29 Cannon]'''. In addition to the physical similarities of being a bearded, large-framed bear of a man with a gravely voice, James also shared with his namesake the habit for going out of his way to help others in their time of need.

As an aside, it is quite likely that there was an additional, though erroneous reason the nickname stuck. There was some confusion between the character of ''Frank Cannon'' and that of another late 70's television detective, ''Robert Ironside''. ''Ironside'' was also a hard-boiled detective, but was confined to a wheelchair. James also used a wheelchair since the amputation of his right (?) leg.
