Naming a boat is an art form. Left in the hands of the wrong people, terrible injustices can occur.
In Britain this year, The Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) launched a marketing campaign, called #NameOurShip, to name their newest £200 million research vessel. After an intense election season, the public -- who apparently is deeply invested in boat nomenclature -- voted overwhelmingly in favor of one name. As of Saturday, it appears that the UK may name one of their most prestigious boats: Boaty McBoatface.

NERC said they would review "all of the suggested names" and make their announcement in "due course."
Imagine Boaty McBoatface sank and everybody died. Imagine the news having to read that out with a straight face.

It's unclear how they could get a better name than Boaty McBoatface, but okay.
The 128-meter research vessel is expected to be the biggest and most advanced in the United Kingdom. In 2019, it will tour the Arctic and Antarctic seas with 90 scientists on staff. The boat's planned climate research in Arctic and Antarctic is vital for understanding global warming.
No matter what NERC decides to call it, it will always be Boaty McBoatface in our hearts.
