" After the UK&amp;#039;s Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) spent millions of dollars outfitting a boat for latest in polar research technology, someone got the bright idea: What if we let the Internet vote on the name of the ship? &amp;quot;Ton-for-ton, the ship\u2014together with NERC&amp;#039;s existing two blue water research ships\u2014will provide the UK with the most advanced floating research fleet in the world and will help put the UK at the forefront of ocean research for years to come,&amp;quot; said the NERC in a statement. &amp;quot;We&amp;#039;re looking for an inspirational name that exemplifies the work it will do. The ship could be named after a local historical figure, movement, or landmark\u2014or a famous polar explorer or scientist.&amp;quot; The internet was glad to help, offering up names like &amp;quot;Usain Bolt,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Ice Ice Baby,&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Notthetitanic.&amp;quot; The ultimate winner? The RMS Boaty McBoatface.Of course, there&amp;#039;s no guarantee the ship will actually set sail under that moniker. The NERC gets ultimate say about what the ship is named. But if the organization\u00A0doesn&amp;#039;t go with\u00A0RMS Boaty McBoatface,\u00A0it&amp;#039;s\u00A0missing the chance to make the future of naval exploration much, much funnier.\u00A0 Source: The Telegraph UK "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
