RRS James Cook Docked at the National Oceanography Centre, Southampton. This is a new £36m research vessel to replace RRS Charles Darwin - it is much larger and will allow a wider variety of science to be undertaken on research cruises as it will be possible to take more scientists and equipment, including the ROV Isis. http://www.noc.soton.ac.uk/nmf/sea_sys_index.php?page=jcook
