Usually dolphins were controlled via signals transmitted through a neck harness. 'The question is, were these dolphins made secure before Katrina struck?' said Sheridan.

This is really interesting, but one suspects wildly inaccurate. Dolphins that are trained to shoot people? Really? Even if its true I find it hard to believe that the Navy would have left them armed as the storm approached. They tend to have fairly careful security proceedures.

Yes the Navy has trained Dolphins not just for attack, but also they have proven to be amazingly effecient at dearming mines and even setting mines on enemy ships.

That would be hilarious though if a Dolphin was going around shooting people.
