so is it like an underwater drone?
that’s what it appears to be anyway….
Yes. It’s remotely operated.
love its name!
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!
The people who voted for the name had a good time. 🙂
