Boaty McBoatface is the replacement for HMS Endurance, a vessel famous for being the first ship to be sunk by the Royal Navy since the ARA General Belgrano during the Falklands War thirty years previously. Since then, the Navy have only sunk two vessels on operational deployments, HMS Nottingham and HMS Grimsby, remaining true to the recent form of sinking their own vessels, rather than the enemy's.

abstract	Boaty McBoatface is the replacement for HMS Endurance, a vessel famous for being the first ship to be sunk by the Royal Navy since the ARA General Belgrano during the Falklands War thirty years previously. Since then, the Navy have only sunk two vessels on operational deployments, HMS Nottingham and HMS Grimsby, remaining true to the recent form of sinking their own vessels, rather than the enemy's. In the 1950s and 1960s the Royal Research Ships of the day were owned by the Admiralty, partially managed by the merchant-ship trained Royal Fleet Auxiliary (RFA), and run as ships of that fleet. In recent times, the Royal Navy has been blessed with more Admirals than ships, many of whom are focused on offering a good deal on your car insurance. However, to keep fleet numbers up and maintain the facade of a 'Superpower' the Navy’s finest war-fighters have been appointed to crew sophisticated, unarmed ice-breaking research vessels; but only after a three day ‘death by Power Point’ merchant ship familiarisation course at HMS Rupert.
