Navy 'anti-swimmer' dolphins ready to defend ships, piers in Arabian Gulf
MANAMA, Bahrain -- With terrorist attacks like that against USS Cole in October 2000 still a very real possibility, the U.S. Navy has a new ally in the global war on terrorism – the Mk 6 anti-swimmer dolphin system.
Much more than your typical Sea World entertainers, these dolphins are dedicated Navy sailors, standing watch over Arabian Gulf ports and deterring uninvited guests seeking to harm ships and ports. With swimmer-defense experience dating back to Vietnam, the Navy’s Mk 6 dolphins are ready to deploy anytime, anywhere.
“It is reassuring to know that we can put our anti-swimmer dolphins where we need them rapidly and successfully in order to protect our sailors, ships and high-value assets,” said Lt. Cmdr. Martin Anderson, of the U.S. Naval Forces Central Command’s Special Operations Branch.
