'Boaty McBoatface' polar ship named after Attenborough - BBC News

The UK's new polar research ship is to be named RRS Sir David Attenborough, after Boaty McBoatface previously topped a public vote.

Man's not dead yet, they've as good as killed him

 

[gosub]

Anyone up for a petition to get Sir David Attenborough to change his name by deed poll?

I think this was a bad decision.

The general public would have followed and supported Boaty and as a result more kids would have been inspired and led into science... oh and actually gave a damn what the boat achieved.

I among with many other will no longer give a damn. The Richard What did what now. Who gives a shit?!

Back to science obscurity with you all. Tell us more about Brian Cox and CERN instead.

Has Sir David made opinion on this public yet?

 

[sim667]

I heard in passing they called a rib on the RRS David Attenborough, boaty mcboatface.....

Edit: Its the mini sub

The name Boaty McBoatface will live on in the form of the ship’s remotely operated submarine, which will be dispatched from RRS Sir David Attenboroughto allow the research crew to collect data and samples from the Arctic and Antarctic.

Impressive feat of engineering, but Christ... who'd want to spend a holiday in there? I bet it's less croweded in Benidorm in August.

What's the capacity of each lifeboat? Because I very much doubt 16 of those could take all the people onboard.

Passenger count max is 5489 (if I recall the wiki) ... don't know crew numbers.

Wow... I can't only assume there are more lifeboats stacked behind those seen hanging from the sides? Because there's no way you could fit 6k+ people in 16 of those.

 

[mauvais]

370 people in one of those lifeboats, apparently.

So 16 - actually, there's 18 - would do it.

Ooops. It seems like it's one of those moments when you almost walk into someone and neither of you knows whether to go left or right or left

hope no-one was hurt.

there are rules to stop that - especially when approaching head-on, so someone can't tell port from starboard !
not to mention the modern kit, like radar ...
International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

so both of them should have turned to starboard ...

I went on the bridge of Ventura, which is admittedly smaller than HOTS*, and it's all video monitors and joysticks.

The Northern one has an archipelago to starboard though. Also this is just south of Shanghai and, I imagine, fairly busy.

 

[StoneRoad]

But you don't need to turn that far to starboard to allow passing along the portside, even with biggish ships.
