"The U.S. Navy will bring in trained dolphins this week to hunt for seaborne mines in the waters around Umm Qasr, Navy officials said. The animals will seek out floating mines and mark them for Navy divers to inspect. "
W0w, all those seaworlds are paying off!

I saw something like this on Discovery. This isn't a new thing. I think it was the Russians in the '80's were training them to carry underwater demolitions, but we're using them to find UD's.
