  • @quelita28 believe it or not dolphins play a vital role in ship security when they are docked or anchored in foreign waters. They are like the German Sheppard's of the sea. They are trained to tag swimmers or small boats that come with in a approximate distance of their ship with a strobe/gps tag and report back to their handlers. The Navy are never used to deal with live ordinance.

  • @quelita28

    Dolphins and whales have a slit near their tail. Females have this slit, plus two smaller ones on either side. The smaller slits contain their mammary glands, which is where their babies get their milk.

  • The Navy does not use dolphins' sonar anymore,which is good.

    The only thing is that they are still used to find mines,I always wonder

    if they are taken out to sea when there is a war. I would be afraid that

    they can get hurt if there is shooting going on. I think the researcher

    Naomi Rose has been defending whales and dolphins for a long time.

    I hope she brings this topic to discussion someday so something can

    be done about it.

  • How can you tell if the dolphin is male or a female?

    Also has this animal ever bitten or hurt a person

    or another dolphin?

  • @iberry They don't retrieve anything. They mark their general location and then PEOPLE go get the unexploded ordinance. The animals NEVER touch the mines. The only things they do touch (and the dolphins don't even do it, the sea lions do) are the dummy mines that are used for training purposes. The animals lives are NEVER in danger.

  • That guy is so beefy hot... mmm... Navy guys...

  • Using innocent dolphin for that purpose is purely evil.

  • you are right in saying that the animals don't understand the situations they are in at times, and the idea of using animals in such situations is controversial i'll agree with that. However, at the same time it is a tactic whether its the best or not.

  • saying that the dolphin is "happy" being apart of the US Navy is probably one of the craziest things I have heard in a long time. When the dolphin is trained to retrieve missiles and look for mines... they don't have an understanding that they can get potentially killed!

  • NOT cowardly? Yes, it is. These animals don't know how dangeous it is you cunt.
