thing is.

if SS really wanted to stop whaling, they should just scuttle the japanese whaling fleet (note this can be done without loss of life)

if the Japanese wanted to really protect thier whaling ships then it is well within the new remit of the Japanese Navy to use force against SS
(provided the gov, agree'd to clasify SS as a terrorist or gurilla group)

the J navy is able to now engage targets outside japanese waters in order to protect its interests from the afore mentioned threats
