Northern California’s most-celebrated deep sea explorers are about to get a new ride.

Scientists at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute on Tuesday announced plans to build a new $50 million state-of-the-art flagship vessel, named the David Packard, in honor of the Silicon Valley pioneer who co-founded Hewlett-Packard and in later life used much of his fortune to explore and preserve the world’s oceans.
