Subject: Dolphin must graduate with honors! From: Rapparee Date: 26 May 13 - 10:14 AM A "sailor" in the US Navy had his or her find confirmed by a fellow -- and both should graduate with honors. Here's tidbid: In the ocean off Coronado, a Navy team has discovered a relic worthy of display in a military museum: a torpedo of the kind deployed in the late 19th century, considered a technological marvel in its day. But don't look for the primary discoverers to get a promotion or an invitation to meet the admirals at the Pentagon - although they might get an extra fish for dinner or maybe a pat on the snout. The so-called Howell torpedo was discovered by bottlenose dolphins being trained by the Navy to find undersea objects, including mines, that not even billion-dollar technology can detect. The full story is here. |

Subject: RE: Dolphin must graduate with honors! From: JohnInKansas Date: 26 May 13 - 12:10 PM I saw the story earlier, but didn't post about it because it seemed like there was "something fishy" going on. One has to wonder why they were conducting a "Search and Find" mission in an area where they were so certain there was nothing to be found that they refused to believe the first report, and sent a second scout before thinking there might actually be something there. One report said that they found "everything but the propeller" but nobody's looked to see if the OIC is wearing it on his hat. John |

Subject: RE: Dolphin must graduate with honors! From: Desert Dancer Date: 26 May 13 - 01:16 PM It was a part of a training exercise, and there were mines that they had placed for the dophins to find. This one found something extra. Navy dolphins discover rare old torpedo off Coronado (Los Angeles Times) ~ Becky in Tucson |
