One more bit of info. I'm guessing most of the folks reading this never have seen Whale Wars but the Shonan Maru is a security ship or a spotter vessel to track down Watson and the hippies.

Harpoon ships are all Yushin Maru 1,2 and 3.

Butcher vessel from hell that should be sunk (just my opinion not support for hippies) is called the Nisshan Maru.

I'm an anti whaling FReeper but I'm also anti hippie / Paul Watson and the retards that follow him.

That point needs to be repeated. You don't stop whaling by boarding a security ship. But you do get press coverage. Watson has demonstrated many, many times that getting good footage for the TV show is his real goal.
