I think that
Sea Shepard actually used a Small Sub at one stage to do exactly as you
suggested that they acquired from Marlin Subs in the UK and deployed it against the Norwegians.
I think it may have been the very sub Brent posted pic’s of not long ago.
This year
they (the Japanese) are after Humpbacks. They have no respect for international
opinion and they are hunting them in an Australian Economic Zone. I think it
displays the same cultural arrogance that led to their involvement in WW2.
If we get a
change of government here in Australia which is likely at the next
election due in October or November the alternate government has committed to
using the Australian Navy to intervene stop the Whalers.
Let’ s
hope this happens!
Regards
Steve Pearce

Just as a thought, if one
is to pursue such a course, I believe that the best way to effect them, would
be to do as the Turtle did in the USA Revolutionary war, and to "scare
them out of the harbor" so to speak. Ramming could cause your sub to
sink, and torpedoing could have unforeseen effects, such as loss of human life,
as well as tighter restrictions on psubs, as well as possible criminal charges
for the captain and the crew of the submarine. While I am pro
environment, and would like to see whaing stopped, I do not think that the end
justifies the means. But whaling does need to stop. Sooner than
later.
As another thought, I
know that closed cycle deisels, AIP, and nuclear, are not real practical for
psubs. I know that the movie, League of Extraordinary Gentlemen do use a
submarine that uses solar cells to recharge the batteries. So, I ask, why
not also use solar power to charge batteries? I would like to point out
that it would be used in conjunction with diesel, to also charge the battiers,
weather pending of course.

Harassing, ramming or torpedoing
whalers is possibly quite legal. I can understand that Captain
Paul Watson, Sea Shepards, claims it is
since there are UN conventions
against whaling. Anybody may enforce UN conventions as the US military did in
at least the first Gulf War.
If its legal by international
law I am on.

I also agree that the UC3
is a magnificent boat.
I would like to point out that
sinking whaling ships via submarine, seems to be something out of SeaQuest
DSV. However I do agree with the idea.
Congratulations on completing UC3 to this near complete stage.
She’s a magnificent boat and well worth the effort and sacrifices you
have made to bring her into being. You will have to sail her across the
Atlantic for the next P-subs convention. J
If you can install a few torpedo tubes I would like to hire her to
deal with some Japanese whalers that will be hunting Humpbacks this season!
