Dolphins Guard World’s Largest Stockpile Of Nuclear Weapons

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


 

Since 2010 dolphins have been guarding the worlds largest nuclear stockpile, that’s located just 20 miles from downtown Seattle at the Kitsap Naval base . Currently, the US Military has trained both 85 dolphins and 50 seal lions. Dolphins were taught different strategies, one of which they can swim right up to a swimmer who does not belong there, and bump into them, attaching a shackling device to subdue them.

The brain power of the dolphin is truly amazing. Dolphins are so smart that they can even teach their offspring what us humans have trained them to do. New research is showing dolphins are more like us then we suspected.

According to sputniknews.com: Twenty miles from downtown Seattle, on the northwest coast of the US, the largest stockpile of nuclear weapons is kept at Naval Base Kitsap. And despite the the 13,000 or so military personnel on the base, one of the main safeguards for that stockpile is a fleet of US Navy-trained dolphins.

Military-trained dolphins are nothing new — The Navy’s Marine Mammal Program goes back to navy studies of dolphins in the 1960s in order to learn more about hydrodynamics. The US military currently has 85 trained dolphins and 50 trained sea lions in service for anything from guarding harbors to clearing mines to recovering equipment. 

The dolphins that guard the large arsenal for the nation’s third largest naval base have been patrolling the waters there since 2010, detecting anyone who swims where they’re not supposed to, Navy spokesman Chris Haley told Business Insider. Before the dolphin, trained sea lions kept watch. 

Dolphins can be trained to do a couple different things in response to the detection of an intruder in their midst. They could return to a trainer to get a transponder to mark the location of the person, or they could could be equipped with a shackling device to attach to the swimmer.

“They just hit the person in the leg and it attaches around their leg and they can’t pull it off until it sends a float up,” said former Navy dolphin handler Clayton Swansen.
