korifugi Posted May 6, 2016 Posted May 6, 2016 And its been named RRS Sir David Attenborough 'Boaty' ship named after Attenborough - BBC News So they picked the Fifth highest voted name, a name that could have been thought up in a boardroom with a round of tea and only half a packet of Rich Tea biscuits? Part of me is now wondering why they even bothered 1
Garacesh Posted May 6, 2016 Posted May 6, 2016 And its been named RRS Sir David Attenborough 'Boaty' ship named after Attenborough - BBC News Feels like too much of a mouthful. The RRS Attenborough would've been better. We all knew they wouldn't go with the RRS Boaty McBoatface, but we could all live in hope. Can you imagine if ports just refuse to accept the new name? "This is the RRS Sir David Attenborough, reque-" "The what?" "Sir David Atten-" "Never heard of you mate." "sigh.. RRS Boaty McBoatface" "Ohh there we go!" The whole process was a bit daft, though. I presume it was mostly just to drum up publicity.

DalekSec Posted May 6, 2016 Posted May 6, 2016 Well I didn't vote for David Attenboroug, turns out you don't vote for boats! Made a woman throws a scimitar at them?
sparkeh Posted May 6, 2016 Posted May 6, 2016 They could have least met us halfway with Sir David McAttenboroughFace 3
Tesla Posted May 6, 2016 Posted May 6, 2016 While the ship will not be named Boaty McBoatface, one of the remotely operated sub-sea vehicles will be named Boaty in recognition of the vote. That's something, at least. But good on Sir David Attenborough 2
DalekSec Posted May 6, 2016 Posted May 6, 2016 Some would say.. The Boaty McBoatFace ship.... has sailed! 2
localzuk Posted May 6, 2016 Posted May 6, 2016 Shame they didn't go for Richard Attenborough... Could've had some Dinosaurs on board then. 1
sonofsanta Posted May 6, 2016 Posted May 6, 2016 Why have they named a submarine Boaty McBoatface. It should be Subby McSubface. And then they could have opened it up to sponsorship and had Subway McSubface, and Meatball MarineResearchVessel-ara. If only these people thought to ask me. 2

In the Navy a Boat is a submarine - so Boaty McBoatface would work fine 1
