Introducing Boaty McBoatface, Polar Explorer
Experts could overrule 'Boaty McBoatface' name choice for polar ship
The Experts need to suck it up and go with the popular choice. It's fabulous. |
It would have to be Shippy Mc Shipface.
|
That could be its registered name, in case it's entered in ship/boat shows, but it'll be Boaty McBoatface at home

I want the queen to launch it, using a bottle of Matey instead of champagne.

We could do better. Why weren't we consulted?

They should give ships better names, definitely.
They should be like the ships in Iain M Banks books, which the Minds which powered them were allowed to name themselves. I had a great fondness for Very Little Gravitas Indeed. Wouldn't work for this one of course. |

It sounds like they're going to choose a different name. Which is a shame. Though I can see the arguments for both sides of the debate. Overall, I think they should have gone with it.
Anyway - here's the Last Leg's take on it: |
Bunch o wusses called it the Sir David Attenborough which is what they were going to call it all along
|
I guess the Good Ship Nancy Boy was taken?
