I would imagine since the first time one of the Japanese whaling ships had their propeller fouled in that manner, the next time the whaling fleet returned to Japan, they modified the vessels by installing cutters on the front of the propellers, so they couldn't be fouled again in the same manner.

[@thesausage351]

I’m pretty sure they all have bulbous bows too, seems like it would be easier to foul by sending 2 fast boats, one on either side, with a chain running between them and just drive past. The chain would pull out from each boat and you could foul a prop, or even jam a rudder. If it was properly researched, they could put floats on the chain to allow the chain in between drop down to a depth that will allow it to go right into the prop. That’s what I’d be doing anyway.

[@bobjamaica9045]
