[edit] Deletion

No. See Cod Wars.

If anything, a merge would be the correct thing to suggest.

Indeed I made this article and it concerns more things than the Cod Wars, as they have been used more widely. For example during the Smugu-incidents where the Norwegian Coast Guard used them. I also wonder seriously about the person who thought this article warranted speedy deletion without any explanation on his part. --- Kjallakr 15:13, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

We used them? Oh. I'd like a link to that, not just for personal use, perhaps adding it to the article would be nice. :) Joffeloff 15:28, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

I don't remember the exact date or the ships involved, but I remember that at least once a Norwegian Coast Guard vessel used a net cutter (enhanced with explosives) to cut the net of a (ironically) Icelandic trawler sometime in the 1990s, during the Smyttehulle period in the Barents sea. I shall see if I find more information. -- 130.208.165.5 22:21, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

Yeah I remember that incident, the net cutters somehow got loose and ended aboard the Icelandic trawler, I remember seeing them propped up on tv on some news show about the whole dispute back in the 1990's --Skaz 00:34, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
