I honestly haven't seen the show in a while, (Whale Wars), but last I saw the Steve Irwin was flying a Danish flag, and the Japanese whalers are poaching in international waters, which means technically, Sea Shepard has every right to sink them if they can.
The Danish had some rules they had to follow in order to fly their flag, but I don't think any of them prevented SS from doing as it pleases in open water. (I'm less than 100% sure of the actual Danish restrictions or if they are even still flying their flag).
