I saw the video. Impressive, they cut the nose of that boat right off. I guess thats what happens when you bring a knife to a gun fight. Size matters...

Maybe Bob Barker will have to donate another 5 million so they can buy another boat. You gonna play, you gotta pay...

Awesome video. That was an expensive screwup right there. It's not like they weren't warned. Maybe they were taken aboard and as a token fed whale steaks.

Cool looking boat. What kind of "Research" was the Jap boat doing?

Yup!!! Its funny because nobody got seriously hurt. The video's that I saw sure seem to indicate that the little boat goofed up.

That looks like one of those Cummins powered speed boats I saw in Diesel power a while back.

I have no tolerance for anarchists.

Regardless what the sentiment over whaling, someone trying to cripple my ship by fouling it's screws? WRONG!
And in International waters? Forget firehoses!!! Drag out those .50 cals and back them off...

After the collision, they should've dumped the waste hold tank into the busted bow of that pesky speed boat.

That support ship needs to go the same way the Rainbow Warrior did.. Just deeper water.

i personally do not condone whale hunting-and those guy ramming a whaling boat sure do have a lot of cahonas-but not too many brains.

the japs are never going to listen to anyone-and if they won't listen to reason-sink em.-just pick them out of the water before the guys die.

That Ady Gil boat was awesome- it's got twin Cummins turbodiesels, and the original desgner was going to circumnavigate the globe on renewable fuels live biodiesel and jatropha oil. It was designed to pierce waves and go through them instead of rising up and over them. The engines' air intakes are at the top rear of those two upright fins.
