The war just got a whole lot more interesting in my mind...I just watched Fox News, and they were talking about the most amazing thing I've ever seen. The Navy has deployed a great deal of "navy dolphins" that have been highly trained to swim in the ocean, up rivers, or down streams and find any and all enemy mines that have been planted underwater. They are trained so well, that they can find the mines, put either a tagging or retrieval device on them, and report back unseen and unharmed. In the early stages of this "technology" they did a comparison between human divers searching for objects and their dolpin counterparts, every single time the dolphin found its object on the first try, the human never found it at all.
