Hvalur 9 RE-399 is an Icelandic whaling ship built in 1952 in Norway. It has been a part of the Icelandic whaling fleet operated and owned by the company Hvalur hf. since 1966.Шаблон:Citation needed

In 1972 and again in 1973 she was requisitioned by the Icelandic Coast Guard, repainted, renamed Týr, after the god from the Norse mythology, and armed with a 57 mm gun and subsequently used to cut the fishing gear from foreign fishing vessels fishing illegally (according to Icelandic law) in a newly claimed fishery zone during the Second Cod War. During her service in the Coast Guard she was nicknamed Hval-Týr (English: Whale-Týr) by the Icelanders and Moby Dick by the British.[1]

Between 1987 and 2006, while commercial whaling ceased in Iceland, the ship remained unused at pier but the recommencement of whaling in Iceland brought it back into action.Шаблон:Citation needed As of 2022, the ship remains active.[2][3]
