据悉,美国海军谍报机关在夏威夷、基韦斯特和圣地亚哥的秘密基地训练了大约240只海豚,这些海豚在一些水下侦察活动中发挥了特殊的作用。 1991年海湾战争中,海豚在波斯湾水下为美国海军侦察伊拉克施放的水雷位置已大显身手。据说5头训练有素的海豚,至少有3次使锚泊和游弋于波斯湾海域的美军舰艇免触水雷。其中,有两只海豚发现了一群水雷,而美国的一艘驱逐舰正向该海区驶来,海豚冒着被撞死的危险,在战舰对面跃出水面发出警报,使美舰在千钧一发之际避开了水雷。 近年来,美海军还对海豚进行携载弹、雷试验。同时,又着手试验一种“自杀”的海豚敢死队员。即由海豚拖带一种触发水 It is reported that the U.S. Navy’s intelligence agencies have trained about 240 dolphins in the secret bases of Hawaii, Key West and San Diego. These dolphins have played a special role in some underwater reconnaissance activities. In the 1991 Gulf War, the dolphins played an important role in the U.S.S naval reconnaissance of Iraq’s mines underwater under the Persian Gulf. Five well-trained dolphins are said to be free of mine-sweepers at least three times so that moored and cruising U.S. forces in the Persian Gulf area can be touched. Two of the dolphins found a group of mines, and a U.S. destroyer was approaching the area. The dolphins risked being killed, sending out warnings across the surface of the warships, allowing the United States to flee at the threshold Mine opened. In recent years, the U.S. Navy has also carried dolphins with ammunition and ray tests. At the same time, they started to experiment with a “suicide” dolphin death squads.
