As others have pointed out, it is a boat in the nautical terms. But the initial ship was not. I had hoped they would have used that argument to dismiss the name "it's not a boat but a ship". (Ships can carry boats, arguably any ship is also a boat but don't tell a captain of a ship that).
- nekopa 10y agoWell, this is the UK, and they probably didn't want to run the risk that the ship would be called RSS Shipfaced :)
