Boaty McBoatface will be named ...

....

And I must say, this is a perfect name. It is totally appropriate to christen this scientific research ship ...

And they decided to name one of the submersibles 'Boaty'. Good for them!

Very apt honour and despite the fun joke result , come ion they were never going to actually name a serious ship Boaty Mcboatface for the sake of those who have to serve aboard and the use the results of her.

Good decision.

Thank God, the infantilisation of the internet has its limitation!
