KEWL, Mama Bear. Dolphins were incorporated into the US Navy 1st class diver logo long ago.

First Class divers in my era were trained using mixed gases (helium/oxygen) for deeper dives. We 2nd class divers just used normal air (nitrogen/oxygen) and our logo was the diving helmet without the dolphins.

Salute to Navy Divers and their mates.

What an interesting and well-presented post, Mama_Bear!
They are indeed deserving of recognition and our accolades, added to the ranks of K-9s and others who assist man for a variety of purposes - not to be confused with 'porpoises,' segueing into a touching story here..:))

A dear friend of mine lost her husband two years ago under tragic circumstances.
Honoring his wishes to have his ashes scattered in the Atlantic Ocean from a favorite fishing pier near Beaufort, SC, on Hunting Island, one day a group of loved ones and friends made the journey for that reason.

Dreading the moment, Jan stood at the end of the pier, hesitating - and suddenly a school of seven porpoises leaped from the water right in front of them!

To all, it seemed as if the Lord had sent them as His escorts for the Journey Home for the beloved.

A powerful demonstration of God's loving touches, providing the comfort that enabled her to let him go - - -
