[QUOTE]A pair of Greenpeace submariners have had their own "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" experience on an expedition in the [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bering_Sea"]Bering Sea[/URL] -- in a scaled down sort of way. Rather than the Nautilus and a giant squid, the pair were in a [URL="http://waittinstitute.org/wi-archive/submersible-overview/"]Dual Deep Worker[/URL]submersible when the encounter occurred.And their attackers weren't a squid of the giant variety, but a pair of [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humboldt_squid"]Humboldt squids[/URL], nicknamed "jumbo squid" or "red devil" for their famed aggression and the red colour the squids turn when in hunting or attack mode.
Although these squids can get pretty big -- up to 1.9 metres (6.2 ft) in [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mantle_(mollusc)"]mantle[/URL] length and up to 50 kg (100 lb) in weight, these guys are relatively titchy -- no longer than a few feet in length, maximum. Their size, however, is no indication of courage: coloured a brilliant red, they have a brave go at the sub before swimming off in a puff of ink.[/QUOTE]

*Hunt for the Green April
Someone tell Zeus that his Kraken is showing.
When did Greenpeace get submarines? I know it's not like they acquired an Akula or something, but surely even that 2 man submersible is quite an investment to make?
They must have got them to outsmart the French.

I guess being Greenpeace they can negotiate a discount.
I bet the Greenpeace workers wanted to kill themselves afterwards.
Btw a red sub is not that good if you don't want squids that turn red when angry think you're not a squid that turns red when angry.
[QUOTE=Drury;46267684]Btw a red sub is not that good if you don't want squids that turn red when angry think you're not a squid that turns red when angry.[/QUOTE]
Jumbo Squids are still aggressive as fuck, they are known to attack divers in packs or groups and become hyper during the night
Good riddance. Hope the vessel sinks with all hands. Greenpeace are nothing but eco-terrorists that make it nigh impossible for anyone who means well for animals to get anywhere. Governments won't ban them and jail them for what amounts to piracy and terrorism, so I hope nature gives them the justice they so desperately crave.
So they turn red when they're about to attack?
Are they some kind of mini-boss?
