The Little Yellow AUV,

is still doing a great job,

the name may be goofy, and if you want to see the boat that the name should have been on, have a look here, a name chosen by an overwhelming public vote, but when have governments ever listen to the results of a vote? so the name was given to this little AUV, and sterling work it has been doing too, 

 the data is in: Boaty McBoatface is doing good science, the yellow autonomous underwater vehicle, (AUV), has mapped the waters around arctica all the way to the seafloor, helping build a three-dimensional picture of how water masses are mixing and warming, the yellow submarine acquired its data in 2017 as it swam through a narrow gap in a seabed ridge that extends northeast of the Antarctic Peninsula,known as Orkney Passage, this opening is a critical "valve" in the "great ocean conveyor" - the relentless system of deep circulation that helps redistribute all the heat energy that has built up in the climate system, Boaty spent three days in the gap, armed with instruments that could measure the temperature, salinity (saltiness), direction, and turbulence of the waters and at times reached depths of 4,000m in its cruise, great to see a little fun in science, even if it is just a fun name.
