A few summers back I was in San Francisco taking a boat tour of the bay and as our boat was passing some naval facility (SPAWARS?), the guide mentioned that facility was training dolphins. Someone then asked why the hell the navy would spend a great deal of money to train dolphins? The guide informed us that the dolphins were trained to swim around US Naval Vessels and if a scuba diver came within a certain proximity of the boat the dolphines would ram the diver in the ribs and neck and force him/her to surface whereupon they would then be shot. I dont know how this dude knows but it certainly provides for a great mental picture of flipper beating the shit out of the most suprised saboteur ever.
