I saw that joke. Never rely on facebook/twitter to name something; you always end up with something like that. As a sailor, it just shows how people are complete idiots when it comes to shipping.

It will be likely be named something like the Franklin or some arctic explorer.

You can't trust the internet to do anything even remotely serious.

It's really amusing though.

They should paint a face on the front of it or something.

Before you name a thread, you should actually know what it is you're writing about.

The panel of judges reviews the choices and makes a decision regardless of the popular vote.... so no, it will not be named this.
