I know it’s only about a ship’s name, but reading this story has really put a smile on my face. Instead of Boaty McBoatface, the name the public famously voted for, the UK’s new polar research ship is to be named RRS Sir David Attenborough. While I must admit I liked the public’s choice, it was a bit childish and not really fitting. The new name is far more fitting, and what better tribute could there be to a truly great man? The RRS Sir David Attenborough will launch in 2019.
