Bangor security plan opponents knitting sweaters for Navy dolphins
Opponents of a Navy plan to use dolphins from San Diego to guard a submarine base in chilly Washington are knitting hats, mittens and sweaters for the dolphins. The informal group of knitters hopes to persuade the Navy not to use the animals from the 60-degree waters of San Diego in 46-degree Hood Canal.The Navy announced a plan February 12th to use the dolphins and California sea lions to watch for terrorist swimmers at the Trident submarine base. Opponents plan to show up with their knitting at public meetings March 27 in Keyport and March 28 in Seattle. The Navy says the dolphins would only patrol in Hood Canal for two hours before returning to heated enclosures. Posted by: Pappy 2007-03-02 |
