Subject: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Whale of a Tail
Date: Tue, 28 Aug 2007 20:10:50 -0700
The S101 was owned my Sea Shephards, according to this quote from the
Marlin Subs old website. I've also heard from the marina selling it, that
it was painted like an Orca not to scare large or small whaling boats away,
but to scare the whales away from the Native Americans trying to hunt them
in a somewhat traditional manor in Washington State. I would like to
confirm that data. Perhaps I will write to Sea Shepherds.
"Later S101 was operated for a period by the Sea Shepherds conservation
society and is now owned and being refited by a US submarines partner,
Ellis Adams."
Regards,
Brent Hartwig

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!

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.

Sirs,
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.
Regards,
Peter

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!
Warm regards
Steve Pearce
