An online campaign calling on the public to name a new £200m Royal Research Ship could see the newest member of the fleet sail under the title 'Boaty McBoatface'. The Natural Environment Research Council's (Nerc) #NameOurShip campaign has thrown up an interesting frontrunner, with RRS Boaty McBoatface taking the lead over RRS Henry Worsley and RRS David Attenborough. The new ship, which will take to the seas on a mission to study ice sheets, ocean currents and marine life, has been subject to an online poll asking the public to suggest and vote for its name.

That's just hysterical!
"Hello, I'm Captain John Smith. Commander of the fine ship Boaty McBoatface."
I hope it wins, too. But you know they'll go with the second choice...

It is funny and brilliant but all jokes aside this ship should be named after sir David Attenborough.. A brilliant man who would be deserving of this honour.

Better than RRS Titan Uranus.
