Remember Boaty McBoatface? Those were happier, simpler times.

Unfortunately, the NERC later decided to ignore completely the will of the people and went on to name the polar research vessel after veteran broadcaster Sir David Attenborough -- a crowdpleaser, to play it safe.

The trio of vehicles in the new Autosub Long Range class of underwater robots have different configurations depending on the task given.
The first Boaty will head out to Punta Arenas, Chile, aboard the RRS James Clark Ross and will investigate water flow and turbulence in the dark depths of the Orkney Passage, a 3.5 kilometre (2.17 miles) deep region of the Southern Ocean.
Good luck Boaty!
