Yikes.  That account is quite different from the article in _S&S_, which was
printed (roughly) a week or two after the fact.  Points where they differ
completely include:

1.  There was only one blast, and the ship sank slowly.
2.  The person who drowned wasn't alerted to the sinking of the ship because
he was asleep, but assumed to be already off the boat.
3.  There was some evidence to implicate the NZ government.
4.  No suspects had been located.

This is *really* interesting.  The Army base I was at (1) was on some kind
of alert for a few days over this -- OPSEC like crazy.  I'm going to try to
dig up that article now.

1.  Kwajalein Missile Range, RMI.  About 9 degrees north of the equator, due
north of New Zealand.  (2)
2.  I wan't in the Army.  I wasn't in Greenpeace, either.  But a friend of
mine did see UFOs.  :-P

If so, UK Television said that it was destroyed by a French torpedo (I think) - the news report was on reflection of the recent French Nuclear Tests that the Rainbow Warror 2 was going to be there (...)

(...) They (...) see (...) piece (...) They spies were caught and exposed as working for the French government.
