Yeah not only the Oberon you get the museum as well.... I think the 4.9 mil is the problem and if you thought a set of Prius Batteries were expensive what would a set of batteries for this beauty cost, none listed on Ebay....

I guess that would take quite a few evereadys to power that thing, but I am in the Raa so i get them cheaper!!!
but I would soon put an end to the japs coming down and pinching our whales, give that ship the steve irwin a backup that they could count on, and I would look good in a commanders hat!!

WOW, now this is the ultimate motorhome! McDonnell Douglas Sub Harpoon ship-to-ship missile system, six 21 inch bow torpedo tubes taking the Gould Mk 48 Mod 4 dual purpose wire-guided torpedo, and carries a total of 20 ship-to-ship missiles and torpedoes, just think with that kinda armory no croc would even think of coming near you!
And look at the potential financial benefits this beast may have, you could blow illegal fishing boats, drug smugglers and whatnot out of the water, doing a community service, score a few medals and letters after your name and the government may even through you a few bucks since its cutting back on coast guard patrols anyway and you're doing it cheaper, just you driven and the missus at the missiles, deadly combination I say.

Yep, has merit allright.... Having seen the rigamarole the Navy has to go through to fire a blank round accros the bows of a ship fishing illegally then surely if these illegal fising boats just started to dissapear and the Japanese whaling fleet were harpooned themselves things would improve. I'm amazed that radical Greenpeace types are not bidding...

I've often wondered why they just cant "dissapear" surely we could blame "pirates"
why would you fire a blank and then aim to miss, seems a misnomour to me, wheres the fun in that,
I reckon let off one of those long bangy swimmy things (technical terminology that I dont expect you lot to understand) straight into the hull, if one fires then one kills, end of story, they know they are doing wrong
thats why they hold up banners stating the whales are for research, all I can say is that those japs are backward and slow race if they need that many whales to find out that a large explosive head harpoon will in fact kill a whale
