Hello, My name is Allyson Scott and I am a senior at Merrimack College in
North Andover, MA. As part of a science lesson for a Teaching Science for
Elementary Education, we are to ask a question of a scientist. My question
pertains to research that may have been done, or has been conducted with
dolphins in the military, specifically, the US Navy. Did the Navy ever use
dolphins to research locating abilities for objects underwater, such as
mines, and other explosives? Your answer will be greatly appreciated.
Thank You,
Allyson Scott

Allyson,
Try going to the following website which talks about the Navy's work with
marine mammals. I think you will find all the information you requested. If
you have more specific questions after reading through the website, I'll try
to answer them for you.
