#1 Saw a Mail Call epidode in wich seals(the animal)would search out enemy divers,when detected the seal would put a clamp on the divers leg.The surface unit would then reel the diver in like a bass.

#2 They call him Flipper, Flipper, faster than lightning,
No-one you see, is smarter than he,
And we know Flipper, lives in a world full of wonder,
Flying there-under, under the sea!

Everyone loves the king of the sea,
Ever so kind and gentle is he,
Tricks he will do when children appear,
And how they laugh when he's near!

They call him Flipper, Flipper, faster than lightning,
No-one you see, is smarter than he,
And we know Flipper, lives in a world full of wonder,
Flying there-under, under the sea!

#3 There were rumors for years that the dolphins were protecting the big Fleet base at Norfolk, VA, and the local news once ran some pics that seemed to confirm it. Have to admit, we always thought that was about as cool as it got.

#5 NOSC has had/trained/used dolphins at the Pt. Loma Sub base for a LONG time. Same for North Island carrier berths (3 now) in SD bay

#6 I'll bet they like it better in SD, Mike / Frank, they have such an unfair advantage over the avg UCSD beach bunny in IQ. One of the few cases where PETA approves - cuz the dolphins share, heh.
