Dolphins wouldn't wear sweaters anyway. They're nudist.

Yeah so, this dolphins project will be as successful as the Navy's ultra secret "dolphin with a freaking laserbeam on it's fin" project?

Those sub pens are designed to withstand nuclear weapons - hydrogen bombs to be exact. What are terrorist frogmen going to do compared to nukes?

I don't know about you but if I were a terrorist and saw a dolphin wearing a Barney the Purple Dinosaur sweater I'd swim away as fast as I could.

I'd be more worried about the affect of pollution in Hood Canal on the dolphins than the cold water....Give them antibiotics before sweaters.

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.

That group has gotta find another porpoise in life.
