Skins24 Posted March 25, 2003 Author Share Posted March 25, 2003 gotta post the story behind this one... This is LONDON 25/03/03 - War on Iraq section K-DOG the minehunter By Harriet Arkell, Evening Standard This is K-Dog, the coalition forces' most surprising weapon against Iraq. With a camera strapped to his fin, the bottle-nose dolphin is one of about 100 dolphins and sea lions helping to clear shipping lanes in the Gulf to ensure a safe passage for vessels, including those which will provide humanitarian relief. K-Dog and his handler Sgt Andrew Garrett are part of a multinational team, CTU-55.4.3, consisting of Naval Special Clearance Team One, Britain's Fleet Diving Unit Three, Australia's Clearance Dive Team, and two Explosive Ordnance Disposal units. A Pentagon spokesman said: "The team works in both deep and shallow waters, looking for mines and marking them. Dolphins have been used like this by the US Navy for more than 30 years, and have proved themselves more reliable than robots." He said that unlike robots, the dolphins did not run out of power, nor did they go missing or have problems communicating from the sea bed. ** ok....wow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redman Posted March 25, 2003 Share Posted March 25, 2003 I wanted to highlight something about this picture. Did you notice how little damage there is to the buildings adjoining the one that was destroyed in the center of the picture? Of course that's ignored by the Iraqi's and their cohorts in the Arab media who are showing this to highlight how terrible we are! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chunky Salsa Posted March 26, 2003 Share Posted March 26, 2003 Think about the amount of training those Dolphins have had and how much money we have sunk into them (worth every penny if they find those hard to reach mines). At least a million by my estimation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
