I name this ship…

摘要

RRS Boaty McBoatface. That, in the considered opinion of 124,109 people, is the perfect name for Britain's new ultra-sophisticated GBP200 million polar research vessel. Naively, the National Environment Research Council (NERC) asked the public to name the 129m ship being built by Cammell Laird, probably assuming the winner would complement RRS James Clark Ross, Ernest Shackleton, James Cook and Discovery. True, naturalist Sir David Attenborough received 10,284 votes, while Antarctic explorer Henry Worsley garnered 15,231. The less conventional It's bloody cold here came fourth, and in second, boosted by celebrity endorsements, came Poppy-Mai.
