>> Searching for "Squaducci" leads to either quotes from V. or, farther down the list, the phrase squadGucci, which I doubt Pynchon had in mind.  Squaducci sounds a little like "skidoo."  The phrase was originally "23 skidoo, and it means "to scram."  So it could be an Italianized version of skidoo (a good name for a ship and a better name for anyplace Pig Bodine's throwing a party).
