    so is it like an underwater drone?

    that’s what it appears to be anyway….

      I do too! The name came from an online poll to name the latest research ship, but the powers that be decided that it was too frivolous for the ship. As a consolation they named the remote-controlled subs Boaty. I think that was a good compromise. 🙂

    I remember you sharing the story about the naming poll. Hilarious!

    Very interesting way to name a remotely controlled drone!
