Guess the kiwis are serious about fisheries protection if they’re planning on torpedoing an over quota fishing boat.
Many (many) years ago we were on a fisheries patrol in a Nimrod (MR.1) between Malin Head & the Hebrides, when we came across a Spanish trawler that was unregistered. He was asked to stop on Ch.16 so that he could be inspected by a patrol craft that was in 'warm' pursuit. He didn't, of course, so he was warned again as we ran towards his bows and opened the bomb doors. Parts of the Lindholme SAR gear we were carrying would resemble a torpedo when viewed by layman's eyes, and we turned so that he could see the contents of the bomb bay. He stopped very, very quickly....
