The Observer | International | Armed and dangerous – Flipper the firing dolphin let loose by Katrina: “It may be the oddest tale to emerge from the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Armed dolphins, trained by the US military to shoot terrorists and pinpoint spies underwater, may be missing in the Gulf of Mexico.
Experts who have studied the US navy’s cetacean training exercises claim the 36 mammals could be carrying ‘toxic dart’ guns. Divers and surfers risk attack, they claim, from a species considered to be among the planet’s smartest. The US navy admits it has been training dolphins for military purposes, but has refused to confirm that any are missing.”

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Bizarre!
Well, they managed to rescue those dolphins who came from Mississippi Marine Life Aquarium who got washed into the sea during Katrina.
Depends on whether the military ones have been so domesticated/trained that they can’t fish for themselves.
But will they be able to track them down I wonder?
