[CINC] Dolphins to reassigned

[Joel E. Justin]

How deplorable. Our government is supposed to be helping reduce the unemployment rate by creating jobs, not eliminating them! Are the dolphins in a union that will help them fight this? If not, maybe Marty can provide some legal help.

Starting in 2017, 24 of the 80 so trained dolphins will be replaced by a 12-foot unmanned vehicle. They will be reassigned, along with sea lions, for port security and retrieving objects from the sea floor. These dolphins and sea lions are training in San Diego. However, during the first Persian Gulf War in 1990 BottleNose Dolphin and Sea Lions were trained at the Point Magu Naval Base. They then where used to find mines in the Persian Gulf ( Dolphins ) and  take tools to deep sea divers ( dolphin and sea lions ).   Paul
