'Boaty McBoatface' ship named after Sir David Attenborough - BBC News
The UK's new polar research ship was nearly named Boaty McBoatface after an online poll.
The UK's new polar research shop has been officially named after broadcaster Sir David Attenborough.

The Duchess of Cambridge smashed a bottle of Champagne against the ship at a ceremony in Birkenhead.

An online poll had suggested the ship be named 'Boaty McBoatface' - but one of its robotic submarines has been given this moniker instead.
