Any comments on Britains new Research Vessel being given a name that a five year old would have chosen?

Well technically it's a ship, so it should have been named Shippy McShipface

Morning Simon, been reading about this on MSN this morning and it looks a lovely piece of kit but there seems to be an argument going on about the public choice of name, it doesn't really matter what it's named but I must admit the chosen name does seem appropriate looking at the picture of the vessel, very pleasing on the eye!

Maybe it should be named after our very own Fred after consuming a case of SMB last night and name it Freddy McShi*faced
