Last summer we posted a blurb about "Whale Wars", the Animal Planet reality show that features the trials and tribulations of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society as they go to "war" against the Japanese whaling fleet. Each week features new episodes of complete buffoonery as the floundering crew of the 'anti-whaling ship' Steve Irwin lobs stink bombs, fires blinding lasers and drops prop-fouling lines in an attempt to shut down what they consider illegal whaling activity.
Last season ended with the Steve Irwin being impounded in Tasmania as the Aussies investigated them for crimes on the high seas. This year, armed with their shiny-new stealth looking trimaran the Ady Gil (above), the Sea Shepherds appear to have met their match - a Japanese fleet that actually fights back. 
Below is a photo of the Ady Gill with its snout ripped off after being rammed by the Japanese ship Shonan Maru 2. As Rodney would say, "Hey! You scratched my anchor!!!"
