"Ocean Warrior" protects whales worldwide | Daily Planet

it's a ship it's engineered to fight a war non-violently with a huge water cannon and speed the ocean Warriors Sea Shepherd's newest and fastest ship I was custom-built for us and its mission is to disrupt whaling in the Southern Ocean and also to protect ocean wildlife worldwide Captain Atom Meyerson is just back from the ocean warriors first mission 93 days chasing the Japanese whaling fleet near Antarctica now it's in port in Perth Australia the goal of this mission is to find the factory ship and then we interfere with the transfer of the whales from the harpoon ships we can also interfere with the harpooning of the whales with the ship which is a sort of a new ability to the speed of the ship we could get right in between the whale and our poon and and keep them from actually killing the whale the whaling ships might have the word research painted on them but their mission is to hunt minke whales and sell them as food in Japan in the past the whaling fleet had the edge we would struggle to keep up even with the the slaughterhouse which is the slowest of their vessels they have our ships would be at maximum speed just to stay with that ship and that would allow then the harpoon ships to get in front of our ships and cut them off it also allowed the harpoon ships to run away from our other ships and restart whaling somewhere else clothes in the fight got physical because sea Shepherd ships like the Bob Barker weren't fast enough to get out of the way the whaling fleet has really you know come right up and RAM chips that I've been in I've had them drive right into me in violation of the rules of the road
