| Class and Type | Long-Range High-Speed Anti-Poaching Vessel (LRHSAPV) |
| Designed For | The Whale Defense Agency, Inc |
| Operator | Whale Defense Agency, Inc |
| Order Date | Classified |
| Builder | Classified |
| Launching Date | 2026 or later |

| Identification (IMO) Number | Check Back For More Info Later |
| Technical Specifications | |
| Length | 196.10 ft. (60 m) |
| Beam | 32.0 ft. (9.75 m) |
| Draft | 8.3 ft. (2.51 m) at full load |
| Construction | Reinforced aluminum and Corten steel hull, with limited ice-class capabilities (IE: Ice belt), so it can travel within Antarctic waters by design, but it's not intended for icebreaking duties in any capacity, but it can make contact with ice safely. Full ice class would destroy the vessels interception speeds. |
| Max Speed | Over 60+ knots |
| Range at Max Speed | Over 1,300 nautical miles at speeds of 60 knots or greater @ 100% MCR |
| Displacement | 490 tonne (metric) |
| Crew and Accommodation | |
| Capacity | 30 anti-whaling enforcement officers |
| Staterooms | 8 |
| Propulsion and Power | |
| Propulsion System | Four Rolls Royce waterjets |
| Engines | Two MTU diesel engines, one MT30 Marine Gas Turbine |
| Horsepower | About 60,000 HP |
| Equipment and Interceptors | |
| High-Speed Interceptors | Two 11-meter standard naval interceptors, two long-range interceptors (2,800 nautical miles capable) |
| Aircraft Carried | One (1) helicopter and multiple unmanned aircraft with ranges from 100 km to 1,852 km (50 to 1,000 nautical miles). One 100 km drone purchased, plans for up to 7 more. |
| Design and Construction | |
| Design | Compliant with the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) Rules for High-Speed Naval Craft and the High-Speed Naval Craft Code (HSNC). Custom designed for the whale defense agency with no other access to any entity today. WDA specific vessel |
| Navigation and Systems on The Most Powerful Anti-Whaling Ship Ever Devised In History | |
|---|---|
| Vision Master FT TotalWatch System | |
| Navigation Radar (low power) X-band Sperry VisionMaster FT ARPA 25KW, 6 ft & Kelvin Hughes Custom Radar Solution MK11 Sharpeye (300w X-Band / 200w S-Band). Enhanced Doppler processing. Can track over 200 maritime contacts and has enhanced detection performance – The Kangei Hunter see's smaller targets such as RHIBs and even submarine periscopes at greater ranges in clutter. Small target detection – The Kangei Hunter can detect targets with a 0.5m2 RCS at several nautical miles. Clutter removal without picture degradation. Pulse compression – provides superior range discrimination across all radar range scales. Ultra-high reliability - 100% solid state electronics. | |
