BIRKENHEAD, England - Prince William and his wife Kate formally named a new British polar research ship “Sir David Attenborough” on Thursday, a more dignified title than the public’s choice of “Boaty McBoatface”.
As a consolation prize, the name Boaty McBoatface was instead given to a small, yellow autonomous underwater vehicle, capable of traveling long distances under the sea ice to collect data, which forms part of the ship’s research equipment. Her husband Prince William, grandson of Queen Elizabeth, said in a speech that the state-of-the-art vessel would help expand global knowledge of the polar oceans and the impact of climate change on them.
