  "The public provided some truly inspirational and creative
  names, and while it was a difficult decision, I'm delighted that
  our state-of-the-art polar research ship will be named after one
  of the nation's most cherished broadcasters and natural
  scientists," Johnson said in a statement.

He also said

  This vessel will carry the Attenborough name for decades to
  come, as it fulfills its mission to explore the oceans and put
  Britain at the forefront of efforts to preserve our precious
  marine environment.

Big Ben will be overhauled soon, so it's not all lost.
Let history continue.
