What a waste of resources! The Indons could have confiscated and recycled the vessels for their own fishermen.

The Indonesians just wanna sent a message that they aren't afraid of the chinks after showing to the world that they aren't afraid of the Ang Mohs when they executed the two masterminds of Bali Nine.

The 41 ships would make a good artificial reef to replace the natural reefs that had been destroyed by the foreign trawlers.
