As the British public have taken an online survey with reference to naming a new military survey ship, I would like to know what other nationalities would consider a fine name for a new vessel?

If you had the chance to name a ship, what would you choose?

Bearing in mind, this is real, I do not think they could do any worse than "Boaty McBoatface"! This being the name that has attracted the most votes.

Another name suggested included "Usain Boat"!!!

That is too funny.

I heard this on the radio this morning when heading to work. Small world. And I am not in the UK.. but the US.

My name for a ship would be "Terminator"..

Terminator, a good name for a warship.

A little too warlike perhaps?

I voted ice ice baby as it going to be research ice breaker in the north pole

heh heh heh!

Polaris

Polaris is good, but is it too sensible? I mean, why have a great name like that when others, in their thousands have voted for BoatyMcBoatHead? lol.

The UK government has said the ship will be called RRS DAVID ATTENBOROUGH but in recognition of the 124,000 who voted online a remote operated submarine will be called boaty

Thanks for the info.

It's good that they have taken notice, but they are pandering to the stupidity of those who put it out to vote, lol.

I mean, ask a question like that and they should really know that they would've got a stupid vote like that.

They should gone with the vote I didt vote tory government but still have go with the vote
