Sea lions join Navy in Gulf
The US Navy has deployed trained California sea lions to the Gulf, to act as lookouts for those who may be trying to attack a port or ship. . .From Ananova.The Navy has effectively used marine mammals for past 30 years, some even during actual combat missions, including the Vietnam War in the 1970s.
During the late 1980s, the Navy sent six dolphins to the Arabian Gulf, where they patrolled Bahrain harbour to protect US ships from enemy swimmers and mines, and escorted Kuwaiti oil tankers through potentially dangerous waters.
