A '''Royal Research Ship''' is a [[United Kingdom|British]]-operated [[merchant ship]] that conducts research for [[British Government]] scientific research organisations, notably the [[British Antarctic Survey]] (''BAS''). A warrant from the Queen is required before a ship can be designated as an RRS.<ref>{{citation | title=£36m contract awarded for scientific research ship | url=http://www.nerc.ac.uk/press/releases/2004/20-jamescook.asp | date=2004-07-02 | publisher=NERC press release}}</ref> |

==Medal summary== |
|||
In the 1950s and 1960s the Royal Research Ships of the day were owned by the [[Admiralty]], partially managed by the [[Royal Fleet Auxiliary]], and run as ships of that fleet. In 1962 on July 3rd, the present RRS Discovery was launched, she had been designed by Henry Herdman a scientist with the National Institute of Oceanography (NIO) working with a naval architect, the vessel was placed on display in London and subsequently used as the base design for the RN 'H' class survey ships. The new Discovery was manned by the RFA until the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) took over full responsibility for the operations and manning of the British research vessels, initially through NERC Research Vessel Services - part of NERC Scientific Services. The "fleet" was divided into two groups under this umbrella, those ships operated in Antarctica managed by [[British Antarctic Survey]] and those which operate elsewhere. This second group of ships is now operated by [[National Marine Facilities]], based at the [[National Oceanography Centre]] [[Southampton]]. |
