[freestyler540]

I saw that joke. Never rely on facebook/twitter to name something; you always end up with something like that. As a sailor, it just shows how people are complete idiots when it comes to shipping.

It will be likely be named something like the Franklin or some arctic explorer.

 

[J.D.]

I think I actually prefer the "RRS What Iceberg".

 

[no_steeze]

I read that they weren't actually gonna name it that. Pussies

 

[Lé.Skiing]

They should just leave it as "name of vessel"

 

[Peter.]

[JGWI]

You can't trust the internet to do anything even remotely serious.

It's really amusing though.

They should paint a face on the front of it or something.

Before you name a thread, you should actually know what it is you're writing about.

The panel of judges reviews the choices and makes a decision regardless of the popular vote.... so no, it will not be named this.
