How is "gratitude" defined in Japanese?

Anyway, the fleet left port on November 8, and won't return from the Antarctic until April.

After unloading the tons of whale meat pillaged from the Antarctic, and a quick refit, the fleet, or part of the fleet, together with smaller harpoon boats, will leave port again for a round of coastal whaling, where they will target the Sei whale, the Bryde's ("Bru-days") whale and the Sperm whale (of Moby Dick fame).

While in Japan, Anthony Marr tested whale-watching, and found two Sperm whales within a half hour, well within sight of land. Very easy pickings were they targeted by whalers.

Thankfully, for these two whales, they live on the south coast, and coastal whaling occur on the north coast.
