I don't get all the people supporting the Japanese cause in this thread... the Japanese don't actually have a historical connection with whaling and they're killing endangered species.
There's absolutely no way to stop them except with this kind of harassment.
I donate to them, and stopped donating to Greenpeace because the bastards stopped their campaign against whaling.
It's a beast of a ship, and my god I hope it has huge speakers on the back like the last one did... it was fuuuuuuuuuucking awesome
Sea Shepard are pretty annoying. In fact they operate out of where I live during the southern whaling season, and while I dont support the actions they take in the souhern ocean, the blatant vote buying Japan performs in minor pacific countries by building infrastructure and providing no interest loans means that legal options are not working.
I think it's entirely appropriate, naming the ship that attacks what seems to be for the most part Japanese just has to be named after the creature that has attacked Japan on the silver makes perfect sense.
Disclaimer: If anyone magically believes that this is meant a support for either side of the debate.. it's not. Just the naming. Also, I agree that it does look badass.
