RRS Sir David Attenborough (AKA RRS Boaty McBoatface)

[keen tinsel]

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.

Stats:
Max speed: 17.5 knots
Range: 19,000 nm
Capacity: 28 crew, 60 scientists (total 88)

Jobs: Remote supply run, Research expedition

realized the first image is dogshit mb gang

[keen tinsel]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boaty_McBoatface almost forgot

(boaty mcboatface should be an advanced customization, would be funny to just have it named as such in the advanced customization and placed on the deck somewhere)

[zenith wasp]

curious

maybe after Polar Sea

[keen tinsel]

[stark vault]

POLAR SEA?

Yooo

[desert gorge]

W name

[zenith wasp]

can't find any good blueprints

otherwise i'd start already

[worn ermine]

boaty mcboatface

[stark vault]

I can find blueprints for ofter ships, maybe like this or close

[worn ermine]

oh hey enclaved

it is i, foxiar

anyways

[zenith wasp]

not gonna work

[stark vault]

Alr

[zenith wasp]

That, and for intentionally asking AI dumb questions

Wasting its time just for fun

[zenith wasp]

wasting it's time and water vapored proccessing your dumb question :з

[stark vault]

You gotta love when people spend billions of dollars on AI server rooms just to have people ask AI what 1+1 is over and over again

we moved from wasting lithium batteries by asking our calculators that huh

[ancient basin]

Ah yes

The classic

solar powered calculators:

[keen tinsel]

(it originates from this btw)

[keen tinsel]

You still gotta have the battery in iirc

I haven't had to replace my calc in a long time

The battery

[ancient basin]

Some don't, honestly

they have enough power to light up the display anyways

[keen tinsel]

Ya

[idle kettle]

[keen tinsel]

I think this guy wants it

[idle kettle]

yay boats

[median forum]

we need more Icebreakers/Polar research vessels

[stray sage]

dawg if i feel bored i might

[keen tinsel]

Modeler mcmodelerface

[stray sage]

idk man still gotta do oasis

[keen tinsel]

[stray sage]

trust me this is not so i can sell my planes and make so much WP it lets me wipe my ass with it when i take a shit

actually wait that sounds kinda weird

[stray sage]
