January 5, 2011 Gojira Attack's The Yushin Maru # 2 With Ropes, Projectiles, And Spun Gun

From last year's destruction, a monster is born. Watch "Gojira" in action when Whale Wars returns with an all-new season.

The Sea Shepherd Conservation Society's ongoing struggle to end Japanese whaling will continue on Season 4 of Whale Wars, premiering Summer 2011.
I do not own this video.

The Sea Shepherd Conservation Society recently unveiled that a fast new interceptor vessel, the MV Gojira, will be joining them for their 2010/2011 anti-whaling campaign in the Southern Ocean. (The name "Gojira" is Romanized Japanese for "Godzilla.") The new boat will replace the Ady Gil, which sank after a collision with a Japanese whaling vessel, the Shonan Maru #2, on January 6, 2010.

The MV Gojira is a unique, high-tech, stabilized monohull vessel. The boat is 115 feet in length, roughly twice the size of the Ady Gil, and powered by twin diesel engines. Construction on the vessel began in June 1997. It was built to circumnavigate the world in less than 80 days, which it did in the summer of 1998, traveling 22,600 nautical miles in 74 days, 20 hours and 58 minutes. It held the Guinness World Record for a powered vessel for roughly 10 years until it was beaten by the Ady Gil in June 2008.

After winning the world record in 1998, the MV Gojira was used for charter fishing, film work and the occasional marine rescue operation. During this time, the vessel was known as the Ocean 7 Adventurer. In June 2008, the Ocean 7 Adventurer was moved to the east coast of South Africa to observe the annual sardine run, and shortly after to the southern end of Madagascar, where it was used as a live-aboard base for surfers and kite surfers.

The $4 million Ocean 7 Adventurer was acquired by the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society in 2010 for its 2010-2011 campaign against Japanese whaling in the Antarctic Southern Ocean. Renamed the MV Gojira, the vessel will be captained by Locky MacLean. Registered in Fremantle, Australia, it's the first Australian-flagged vessel to be operated by Sea Shepherd. "Having Fremantle as a homeport for Gojira, and flying the Australian flag, optimizes Australia as the most passionate defender of whales in the world," Sea Shepherd's Australian Director Jeff Hansen recently stated in a press release.

@joope666 They follow the Japanese whaling vessels and annoy the shit out of them and when the whaling vessels find whales the Sea Shepherd vessels get in the way and protect the whales so they don't get harpooned. This is just a video of them following and annoying the Japanese whalers.

@TheBhururu Only when the last tree has died, the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught will man realize that money can not be eaten. It doesn't matter what the Bible says, we can not recklessly destroy the planet like this cuz pretty soon, we will destroy ourselves too. these people are trying to save the planet and even if it means cutting back on the income of a Japanese company, I see no wrong in this.
