The MY Steve Irwin is a 59-meter (195 ft) ship owned by the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, and used in their direct action campaigns against whaling and other activities the group opposes. The vessel was built in 1975 and formerly served as a Scottish Fisheries Protection Agency conservation enforcement patrol boat, the FPV Westra, for 28 years.
Sea Shepherd had previously christened the vessel the MV Robert Hunter after Canadian Robert Hunter,[2] co-founder of Greenpeace, but was renamed in honor of the late Crocodile Hunter host Steve Irwin on 5 December 2007.[3] Irwin had considered joining the vessel on a voyage to Antarctica shortly before his death, and the renaming was endorsed by his widow
I wish the Sea Shepherds all the very best with their honorable and heroic endeavours to
save our Planet from those who just plunder with Evil intent.

Grats on the new boat, I suggest this one is taken and offered to the honest (non-whaling) population of japan to aid in the efforts of rescuing people from remote locations. It may be an offer denied, but some critical earth-damaging disasters need total unilateral effort in order to save millions of dolphins/whales/people who could lose their lives if we don't ALL work together to help them.
