The RRS SDA is a polar research vessel which is used by scientists as a floating research facility to research the ocean, seafloor, atmosphere, and particularly ice.
She was made to help explore and further research the earth's arctic and Antarctic as well as act as a supply ship to bases stationed at the earth's poles.
Famously, the ship's name was done by a public poll, which resulted in the joke name "Boaty McBoatface" winning by a landslide. Seeing the name as unfit for the ship the NERC (Natural Environment Research Council) selected the ship's current name, but had one of the ship's underwater exploration vehicles named Boaty McBoatface instead.
I think that the ship would be fun for aeronautica as it would be a vessel which has many uses, capable of doing remote supply runs, research expeditions, and potentially underwater vehicle operations if that becomes a job.
