the ship is one we all know it is Shonan Maru 2 a japanese harpoon boat fitted with LRADS and other dangerous weapons. This ship killed the Ady Gill and caused the collision with the Bob Barker and the Yushin Maru 3. Right now Shonan Maru 2 is detained and its crew are in a Russian prison. The spotters are Shonan Maru 2, Kako Maru, and Kaiyo Maru 7. Shonan Maru is impounded and Sea Shepherd has the Kako Maru and has renamed it Sam Simon. The Japanese may have repainted the ship and installed dangerous weapons but the red paint is a give away it is still scratched and stained where they hit the Ady Gill.
Aaron Peavler/Geomodelrailroader Railroad Photography you mean where the Gil decided to pull out in front of a Japanese ship? Yeah...the whaling will continue
They need proper capturing forces (with good training like coast guards) to replace the jobs of the sea shepherds. There is no point fighting hostile and illegal ships if there is no way to defend yourself if they retaliate.
They are not illegal ships. They are Japanese flagged vessels. Conducting whaling operations in international waters. If they were really violating a nations waters to poach whales, that nation would use military and coast guard to arrest them. Like they do for Orange Roughy poachers. There is no authority to stop them.
@@PHUCKyoutube689 It actually is illegal, it's just Japan has opted out of the IWC so it doesn't "affect" them. basically illegal, but technically isn't. you get the point
@@PHUCKyoutube689 They're conducting illegal whaling operations in Australian whale sanctuaries. They're also using loop holes, masquerading as 'research vessels' to hunt whales.
@@okiesailor5417 The original goal was to remove them from international waters and the whale sanctuary is in the southern ocean. Their quotas are much lower even in their national Hunt‘s because they cannot justify spending so much money on a fleet that can’t leave national waters. The next and more difficult task is to stop nationalist wailing but only for nations continue this practice and they will end one day.
The funny thing about all this, is these guys no authority to do absolutely anything once they find poachers. They circle around them a few times and leave.
tell that to the chinese trawlers that has been consfiscated and the chineese captains that had been arrested for ilegal fishing thanks tho the sea shepherd 🤷🏻♂️
or the captain who sank his ship and got in prisionnfor years and have to pay 15millions together with the officers of the ship for abandoning the ship.
You know that if the government ship had some marines onboard they could have shot the Helo down because those poeple are by law pirates and you've got the right to defend yourself to them.
Sea Shepherd needs to modernize their tracking system and be prepared to use more aggressive and effective weapons.They also need drones and a submarine.
Van Deman Ferrets Tasmania. Nikkie Simply sell off that flotilla of inadequate and obsolete vessels and use the money to build a new state of the art well equipped and fast vessel.

I agree including all those illegal whale fishers i mean come on right! Illegally fishing in another countries waters, its almost acting the same as the US military 😂😂😂
@@Diablofeb4 they are not in another countries waters. They are in international waters. If they were whaling in a counties waters, that country would detain and prosecute them. They are in international waters, a group of non whale eating nations declared it off limits but if a nation doesn't agree to those other countries treaties there is not much that could be done.
@@Motor-City_Ben-Diesel Yeah, they are. unfortunately, i find this method extremely stupid. You're literally bordering between piracy and breaking international law. Yes, whaling is bad.

Man I never seen the UK version of this episode. I honestly still hate that season because the majority of earthquake / tsunami donations were sent to whaling fleet to hurt Sea Shepherd and succeeded in killing enough whales.
brian denver please explain which part is bullshit. Have you ever watch the entire season of Whale Wars? The whaling fleet is now capable of prop fouling Sea Shepherd and it’s extremely difficult to prop foul them, especially at night, when running the risk of getting hit by a swinging grappling hook and getting a black eye from a rod. You were never there and Japan is still filtering information of their illegal activities so that citizens don’t even know how their tax is being spent, especially the misuse of the relief funds that came from around the world.

'two years ago it cut a ship in half...' You RAN OUT OF FUEL!!! Addy Gill went dead in the water while ATTEMPTING to maneuver aggressively! The 'ship' they cut in half, was racing boat built to go fast and not built strong (after she was GIVEN to 'Sea Sheppards' she had continuous maintenance problems).

The Adi Gale was out of fuel and waitting to be re fueled. Maritime law dictates the other vessels should have remaind clear. In the end there was a court case on it and the captains of both boats involved got fined
These people are going to continue pushing until someone has had enough and sinks them. I keeping having flashbacks of what happened to the Rainbow Warrior. All it would take would be one torpedo and I doubt that the source of it would be found.
SFC Retired So the thing is the Japanese are the only ones that put up with their shit they have had the Norway Coast Guard sink one of their ships and I believe either a Russian or German ship actually shot at them with a torpedo
And it worked out so well for them: "The sinking was a cause of embarrassment to France and President François Mitterand. They initially denied responsibility, but two French agents were captured by New Zealand Police and charged with arson, conspiracy to commit arson, willful damage, and murder. It resulted in a scandal which led to the resignation of the French Defence Minister Charles Hernu, while the two agents pleaded guilty to manslaughter and were sentenced to ten years in prison." BTW, a decent (mechanical) engineer should be able to design a 'torpedo'. Those whaler boats look like easy targets.
Somali pirates attack capture and kill people for money, armed with Aks and RPGs. These idiots have nothing more than stinky butter and water cannons. Please explain deeper how they are equal to the Somali pirates
The sea shepherds are there to protect whales not attack and take for there own gain. So there for they are nothing like pirate's. Educate yourself before you comment plz
God, I remember thinking these guys were cool in their early days before they were so drama driven. I believe in the anti-whaling cause, but not most of the other causes they try fighting. I mean the whales are definitely at risk, but because they're such annoying little hippies with a TV show I can't stand them anymore.
1) A vessel (fishing, tug, dredging, etc.) with gear in the water is considered restricted in her maneuverability. They have the right of way. 2) It is illegal to change course to try to take the right of way from another vessel. 3) These chides never, ever have the right of way except against each other.

@@alan30189how are the saving whales they are slowing down people's vessels so they are really doing nothing. They aren't saving any endangered species
a couple of points; 1) don't know if same one or another but the courts determined from the sea shepard pirates that the small boat intentionally got in front of the ship when the ship was turning AWAY from the boat (vid was slowed down to see who did what 1st), 2) of course the ship has armed ppl on board, the way the sea shepard pirates act warrants it, ssp fake distress calls to get ppl aboard the they assualt the ships crews and try to start a fire aboard the ship, the ssp also try to send a team of ppl aboard WITHOUT permission, the ssp also try to disable ships.....these are NOT the acts of good ppl, any ssp that gets killed just makes the open waters that much safer✊😡✊😡✊😡🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸

Well you kinda got in front of the ship. Don't know what you expect
Damn...this took a turn...
I wounder if the crew of the Sea Shepherds can swim, they should just send a torpedo into it's side and leave the Whales to save them..
Japan flipping the script on Sea Shepard!
Go Japan!
5:55 Karen starts crying foul
I like how everything the accuse the Japanese of is the same thing they do if not worse. And later in this season on of these idiots say a pole is a lethal weapon. Talk about the kings of over dramatic.
"... Sea Shepherds Close In On Mysterious Government Ship ..." , 4:52 LOL
Here's a thought if you don't ram them they mostly won't ram you. If you don't engage them they probably won't engage you. It really is that simple. However if you're going to engage them you can't place blame on them for protecting themselves.
That’s great just keep killing innocent whales are endangered
Are you kidding me. I don’t know what country you’re from. But they’re breaking into national sanctuary whale refuge and I wish our government would enforce laws
@@carrolanncarter-sladek9132 I'm a American from America where all humans have rights. You can't jeopardize a humans life for a fish. If it was me I'd start shooting and that's one thing I know about very well. After being a soldier and going to war then doing 20 years as a cop. Force on force that's how you solve this issue. But these fish loving asshole wouldn't ram another boat. They'd only have to kill one person or sink one boat and that be it for them Jack asses.
the only thing they need to deter this hippies is a warm shower....
Hopefully some day the Japanese government will sink these fools!
It's a shame there are only 7-8 minute vids of this show. Know it's fairly old, it's good viewing though.
the ship is one we all know it is Shonan Maru 2 a japanese harpoon boat fitted with LRADS and other dangerous weapons. This ship killed the Ady Gill and caused the collision with the Bob Barker and the Yushin Maru 3. Right now Shonan Maru 2 is detained and its crew are in a Russian prison. The spotters are Shonan Maru 2, Kako Maru, and Kaiyo Maru 7. Shonan Maru is impounded and Sea Shepherd has the Kako Maru and has renamed it Sam Simon. The Japanese may have repainted the ship and installed dangerous weapons but the red paint is a give away it is still scratched and stained where they hit the Ady Gill.
can u post some links about this i cant found any info. thanks
@@andresjuan8772 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MV_Sh%C5%8Dnan_Maru_2 or just type in Shonan Maru 2 on Google and it will provide links to every article.
Thanks for the info fam!
Aaron Peavler/Geomodelrailroader Railroad Photography you mean where the Gil decided to pull out in front of a Japanese ship?
Yeah...the whaling will continue
kcimb they have significantly reduced the amount of whales slaughtered, and you’re wrong one day they will no longer kill whales.
Where can I watch the full episodes?
They need proper capturing forces (with good training like coast guards) to replace the jobs of the sea shepherds. There is no point fighting hostile and illegal ships if there is no way to defend yourself if they retaliate.
They are not illegal ships. They are Japanese flagged vessels. Conducting whaling operations in international waters. If they were really violating a nations waters to poach whales, that nation would use military and coast guard to arrest them. Like they do for Orange Roughy poachers. There is no authority to stop them.
@@PHUCKyoutube689 It actually is illegal, it's just Japan has opted out of the IWC so it doesn't "affect" them. basically illegal, but technically isn't. you get the point
Just armed the torpedoes and sunk the whaling ship to the ocean
@@Evercreeper
It’s not illegal. Actually the Sea Shepherds are doing something highly illegal which is turning off their AIS
@@PHUCKyoutube689 They're conducting illegal whaling operations in Australian whale sanctuaries. They're also using loop holes, masquerading as 'research vessels' to hunt whales.
I keep saying this that if they were doing any thing significant the military would step in then let them do something .
Omg, they brought back Peter Brown, the most incompetent 'officer' of all. I see he's been demoted to 2nd mate though 😁
Do a colabo with the somali pirate
Gerald Gitau Lmao
"Scum of the World united; against Japan Fishermann!"...ohhhh those disgusting Whaleasslikers!!
Imagine just going out for some fishing and these dudes pull up on you
Be the last boat they came up on
Watching this in 2020 is fantastic with the knowledge that Japan no longer goes to the southern ocean and the shepherds one.
They still get thier quota. Whales still die.
They just hunt elsewhere.
@@okiesailor5417 The original goal was to remove them from international waters and the whale sanctuary is in the southern ocean. Their quotas are much lower even in their national Hunt‘s because they cannot justify spending so much money on a fleet that can’t leave national waters. The next and more difficult task is to stop nationalist wailing but only for nations continue this practice and they will end one day.
The Irwin has to dock every few days so they can go ashore and hug trees.
The funny thing about all this, is these guys no authority to do absolutely anything once they find poachers. They circle around them a few times and leave.
tell that to the chinese trawlers that has been consfiscated and the chineese captains that had been arrested for ilegal fishing thanks tho the sea shepherd 🤷🏻♂️
or the captain who sank his ship and got in prisionnfor years and have to pay 15millions together with the officers of the ship for abandoning the ship.
READY!!!....SET!!!
THROW THE STINKY BUTTER!!!!
HAHA YOU SMELL NOW *gets harpooned in half*
0:42 its PRONOUNCED bosun not spelled like it,its spelled as boatswain
You know that if the government ship had some marines onboard they could have shot the Helo down because those poeple are by law pirates and you've got the right to defend yourself to them.
I believe they sail under a european nations flag so technically they are not pirates.
This can start a whole war.
Sea Shepherd needs to modernize their tracking system and be prepared to use more aggressive and effective weapons.They also need drones and a submarine.
Robert Johnston and who would fund that
Robert Johnston yes, go after folks who have a history of naval combat...dumb idea.
Van Deman Ferrets Tasmania. Nikkie Simply sell off that flotilla of inadequate and obsolete vessels and use the money to build a new state of the art well equipped and fast vessel.
kcimb Yes and where completely defeated.
@@kcimbMore like going after folks who have a history of losing naval combat.
4:02 He "captures images of the mysterious government ship" [still image camera clicking] The same one you have already been filming with video?
i would pay a lot of money to hear bill burr thoughts on these people
I miss this show
If I owed the fishing boat I would install 50 cals to protect my investment in these open ocean and against these mordern day pirates. The hippies on the Steve Irwin need to be put in jail.
I agree including all those illegal whale fishers i mean come on right! Illegally fishing in another countries waters, its almost acting the same as the US military 😂😂😂
Sink the antifa scum..
@@Diablofeb4 they are not in another countries waters. They are in international waters. If they were whaling in a counties waters, that country would detain and prosecute them. They are in international waters, a group of non whale eating nations declared it off limits but if a nation doesn't agree to those other countries treaties there is not much that could be done.
Don't give me that, they Adi Gil crew literally drove their boat right into the Shonan. You can see the engine wake from the Japanese point of view.
While I hate whale hunters, I can't help but root for the Japanese.
Hands down. Bunch of belters!
I bet everyone on that ship smells like cool ranch corn chips
I assumed they smelled of natural deodorant, and the awful body odor it fails to prevent.
they are acting like pirates. they deserve to be treated like one.
remy lew they are trying to stop whales from being killed if you were smart at all you would
be happy.
@@Motor-City_Ben-Diesel Yeah, they are. unfortunately, i find this method extremely stupid. You're literally bordering between piracy and breaking international law. Yes, whaling is bad. I never said it was good. I meant that there are better ways to do it. Seriously, choking a ship's turbine? Raising awareness, but at what cost?
@@remylew3723 Unfortunately it has to be that way.
@@captjim11 and did stop it? Lol. Let's save the whale yeah let's stop the ship.okay? How many ships are out there for whaling? They're tiny boats can't even do anything.
I think the Japanese sank the Steve Irwin by shooting stingray barbs at it.
too soon bud, Steve Irwin Was supposed to be a god. and i was supposed to marry his daughter.
and gain godly powers.
This fell through thanks to covid...
but at least the govie gave me money.
😂
😆😅🤣😆😅🤣😆😅🤣
How come all the "mystery" ships these guys run into are clearly marked with names and registry numbers?
And the Sea Sheperds are the one who turn off their AIS as soon as they leave port
Man I never seen the UK version of this episode. I honestly still hate that season because the majority of earthquake / tsunami donations were sent to whaling fleet to hurt Sea Shepherd and succeeded in killing enough whales.
Proof of that please?
Your a bullshitter pal
Bla bla bla...hippie bollocks
brian denver please explain which part is bullshit. Have you ever watch the entire season of Whale Wars? The whaling fleet is now capable of prop fouling Sea Shepherd and it’s extremely difficult to prop foul them, especially at night, when running the risk of getting hit by a swinging grappling hook and getting a black eye from a rod. You were never there and Japan is still filtering information of their illegal activities so that citizens don’t even know how their tax is being spent, especially the misuse of the relief funds that came from around the world.
@@chalexen2862 it's all bullshit...staged bullshit...all staged bullshit! fucking pirate hippies
The comment section sponsored by the Japanese whaling industry!!!
The sea shepherd... extremely inexperienced craw full useless ideas!!
Right they are complete idiots. They get absolutely nothing accomplished.
registered a motor yacht so as to not have qualified crew however have a sailing master ,in my day at sea the master would not allow all that bullishit with all these people on his bridge.most incompetent set of individuals.
Whenever I need a pick me up I just play the video of that cute little carbon fiber toy being cut in half.
“Japans government gave the whaling fleet 19 million pounds for increased security” yeah I wonder why lol
Right? like hey lets attack people acting in international waters, wait why are they defending themselves.
i can only watch this with sea shanty 2 playing
Just some rich kids that never had a job and a captain that
can only get laid on this show, trying to stop people trying to feed there

I’d bet he can’t even get laid on his ship. LOL 😂
Yeah! I hear puppies taste pretty good too. Hey, if it moves, it's on the table . . .
@@JHaupt6314 Must be Korean?
'two years ago it cut a ship in half...' You RAN OUT OF FUEL!!! Addy Gill went dead in the water while ATTEMPTING to maneuver aggressively! The 'ship' they cut in half, was racing boat built to go fast and not built strong (after she was GIVEN to 'Sea Sheppards' she had continuous maintenance problems).
Why don’t they have some kind of radar on the helicopter?
cooper cooper because the helicopter would have to hover to get the radar to work. A radar sends sound waves out and they know if something is there if the wave comes back to the radar if the helicopter of moving really fast it won’t work
Masked KiLlz hahahaha are you serious? Airplanes have radar! Mach 2.5 fighter jets have amazing radar systems that detect and identify other aircraft and surface targets.
@@s1ipzys661 lol sound waves? Huh
@@s1ipzys661 thats sonar.....
@@s1ipzys661 Technically you're wrong. everything from single engine to jet airliners and a evry fighter jet uses radar. Also ground avoidance radar. aircraft don't stop to get a radar fix.
dammm...!!>... i can remember what they did on the other ship which was in crash down into two...dammm..!!
The Adi Gale was out of fuel and waitting to be re fueled. Maritime law dictates the other vessels should have remaind clear. In the end there was a court case on it and the captains of both boats involved got fined
this is so old years ago I saw this on TV when they had the show
Norway and Iceland also still catching a lot of Whales.
That ship knows exactly where the Irwin is, they have real radar. The Irwin is running like rats. LOL
@ 6:05 WONDERFUL!! YESSSS CUT IT IN HALF!! 😆😂🤣
and i thought hippies were all gone.
What does saving animals from being hunted under the name of research have anthing to do with the Hippie movement?
These people are going to continue pushing until someone has had enough and sinks them. I keeping having flashbacks of what happened to the Rainbow Warrior. All it would take would be one torpedo and I doubt that the source of it would be found.
SFC Retired So the thing is the Japanese are the only ones that put up with their shit they have had the Norway Coast Guard sink one of their ships and I believe either a Russian or German ship actually shot at them with a torpedo
And it worked out so well for them: "The sinking was a cause of embarrassment to France and President François Mitterand. They initially denied responsibility, but two French agents were captured by New Zealand Police and charged with arson, conspiracy to commit arson, willful damage, and murder. It resulted in a scandal which led to the resignation of the French Defence Minister Charles Hernu, while the two agents pleaded guilty to manslaughter and were sentenced to ten years in prison."
BTW, a decent (mechanical) engineer should be able to design a 'torpedo'. Those whaler boats look like easy targets.
Essentially there’s no difference between these and Somali pirates
Somali pirates attack capture and kill people for money, armed with Aks and RPGs. These idiots have nothing more than stinky butter and water cannons. Please explain deeper how they are equal to the Somali pirates
Nik nak the gwa next time you decide to try to have a point make sure it actually makes sense 😆
The sea shepherds are there to protect whales not attack and take for there own gain. So there for they are nothing like pirate's. Educate yourself before you comment plz
Elliot Rutherford Why don you go and find out why the show was canceled and “EDUCATE YOURSELF”
@@rico653caines3 the show was cancelled because they done there job and the Japanese don't hunt whales there any more.
Nothing like being narcissistic enough to believe you have the right to inflict your will on another nation.
Try that with a Russian ship
They should have sunk the ship and rescued the hot looking girls for the trip back to Japan
God, I remember thinking these guys were cool in their early days before they were so drama driven. I believe in the anti-whaling cause, but not most of the other causes they try fighting. I mean the whales are definitely at risk, but because they're such annoying little hippies with a TV show I can't stand them anymore.
1) A vessel (fishing, tug, dredging, etc.) with gear in the water is considered restricted in her maneuverability. They have the right of way. 2) It is illegal to change course to try to take the right of way from another vessel. 3) These chides never, ever have the right of way except against each other.
Wow i read some really disturbing comments from really disturbed individuals making fun of the Sea Shepherds mission to save these wonderful creatures that are indiscriminately slaughtered at sea.
Disturbed? Calm down Karen
Sea Shepherds: "omg what is this mysterious ship"
mysterious ship: GOVERNMENT OF JAPAN

It's the " Ship of Fools". They never stopped even one whale from being taken legally. And Watson ain't no Captain.

I know right, killing whales and shit
a couple of points; 1) don't know if same one or another but the courts determined from the sea shepard pirates that the small boat intentionally got in front of the ship when the ship was turning AWAY from the boat (vid was slowed down to see who did what 1st), 2) of course the ship has armed ppl on board, the way the sea shepard pirates act warrants it, ssp fake distress calls to get ppl aboard the they assualt the ships crews and try to start a fire aboard the ship, the ssp also try to send a team of ppl aboard WITHOUT permission, the ssp also try to disable ships.....these are NOT the acts of good ppl, any ssp that gets killed just makes the open waters that much safer✊😡✊😡✊😡🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸
No references, no details on the court cases, just assertions: like you made it up?
"Pirates" is not correct in this situation: there is no attempt to rob or steal. However Sea Shepherd is trying to prevent a serious environmental crime.
Because of course you don't mention that the International Court of Justice found that the Japanese were acting unlawfully in the Southern Ocean.
Your post is just malicious propaganda.
