Britain was forced to accept the new fishing limits and withdraw its distant-water fleet from Icelandic waters. The Cod Wars severely damaged the British fishing industry but helped establish the modern international concept of exclusive economic zones at sea. Iceland achieved its goal of protecting its vital cod resources, and the conflicts remain a rare example of mostly non-lethal naval confrontations in the 20th century. The name Cod War has since become a humorous label for any minor international fishing dispute. #HistoryMysteries #UntoldStories #BizarreHistory #WeirdHistory #AbsurdHistory #CodWars #IcelandUK #FishingWars #StrangeButTrue #FunHistory #HistoricalOddities

Brings back memories of the early ‘80s and covering the clamour surrounding the wonderfully-named Captain Kirk, a Danish trawler skipper whose boat was escorted into the Tyne for him to appear at court at North Shields, for infringing British waters #CodWars

The Type 81 Frigates of the Royal Navy were the last "tribal class" (3rd of the name) originally designed as sloops to replace WW2 legacy Black Swan and Loch-class frigates. naval-encyclopedia.com/cold-… #coldwar #royalnavy #tribalclass #codwars #falklands

The Type 14 (Blackwood class) were a more austere variant of the Type 12 purpose-built ASW Frigates of the Royal Navy built in the 1950s... And soon sent to take part in the "cod wars" naval-encyclopedia.com/cold-… #royalnavy #aswfrigates #coldwar #hmsblackwood #type14frigates #codwars

The Royal Navy lost to Iceland in the Codwars twice. Iceland doesn't have a navy.

Day 9/100 Taking a bit of a break from Magical Cat Cafe and wanted to try my hands at a Codwars problem since it's been awhile. Gave a 7kyu a try to ease my way in, was pleasantly surprised to see I still had it. Gonna try a 6kyu tomorrow and see how that goes 🔥 #100DaysOfCode

Rear Adm. Rommel Ong mentioned the Cod Wars in our latest podcast episode, which made us read and learn more about its relevance to the #WestPhilippineSea disputes. From Cod Wars to West Philippine Sea: Lessons in Maritime Strategy The Cod Wars between Iceland and the UK offer a historical lesson in how smaller nations can assert maritime rights against larger powers. It was a series of confrontations between Iceland and the United Kingdom, spanning from the 1950s to the 1970s, over fishing rights in the North Atlantic. Each Cod War ended with Iceland successfully asserting its rights over a larger maritime area. By 1976, the UK recognized Iceland's 200-mile EEZ, marking Iceland's victory in securing its fishing grounds. This series of events not only established Iceland's maritime boundaries but also set precedents in international law regarding Exclusive Economic Zones. Here's how Iceland's strategy could inform the ongoing disputes in the West Philippine Sea: - Iceland's Approach: - Coast Guard Over Navy: Iceland, lacking a traditional military, used its Coast Guard effectively, showing that defense doesn't always require a large navy. - Technological Innovation: Introducing trawl wire cutters neutralized British trawlers, demonstrating the power of innovation in leveling the playing field. - NATO Leverage: By threatening to leave NATO or close US bases, Iceland forced concessions, highlighting the importance of strategic alliances. - Relevance to West Philippine Sea: - Legal and Diplomatic Strategy: Like Iceland, the Philippines can leverage international law, particularly the 2016 arbitration ruling, and strengthen alliances to assert its rights. - Public and International Pressure: Iceland's national unity and diplomatic efforts were key. The Philippines could similarly mobilize international support through forums and public opinion. - Innovation and Asymmetry: While not directly applicable, the spirit of Iceland's innovation suggests the Philippines might explore new technologies or strategies in surveillance, environmental protection, or legal challenges. The Cod Wars remind us that in maritime disputes, creativity, law, and alliances can be as powerful as military force. In the case of the West Philippine Sea, this suggests that a strategy focused on legal assertiveness, strategic partnerships, and innovative tactics could lead to a resolution that respects maritime sovereignty. One of the key challenges, however, is that China's communist governance adds additional layers of complexity to the situation. #CodWars #WestPhilippineSea #MaritimeStrategy #WPS

@PolarBearRoars for #GRIMM a story of 3-day millionaires, fighting fishermen, country & western and #CodWars. From @SugarPunchuk & a brilliant new young writer #EvangelineHenderson … great cast in a great play.

🚢 Throwback to Ep. 91 of the #IrregularWarfarePodcast! We explored the #CodWars and how NGOs like Sea Shepherd impact maritime law enforcement. 🎙️ With Kevin Bilms & Dr. Claude Berube. Hosted by Ben Jebb & Lisa Munde. #MaritimeStrategy #IWI irregularwarfare.org/podcast…

Day 57 of #100DaysOfCode - completed 2 leetcodes - completed 1 codwars

Day 2 of #100DaysOfCode Best ways to practice TypeScript: 1. Convert an old project from JS to TypeScript 2. Make a new project 3. Codwars 4. ask chat-Gpt for challenges when do you think it's a good sign to use typeScript for a project and when it's not?

This was a fun one! const isPalindrome =(x) => { return x.split('').reverse().join('').toLowerCase()=== x.toLowerCase() ? true :false // your code here } #codwars #100devs #swe

Hi Misbah 👋 Actually I am learning Javascript like you, for me I use freecodecamp too but besides I use different resources to learn better and also practice with what I learn. For practice you can use Codwars or Hackerrank or .....

Do your #codwars daily 🤓. Challenges completed and pushed to GitHub🤖. #javascript #techies #techtwitter
