Dolphins perform in Navy underwater missions

Dolphins, and recently other mammals, such as sea lions, have been professionally trained to complete underwater military missions that the Navy assigns them. These dangerous tasks range from detecting unidentifiable bombs, delivering tools, and seeking out enemy terrorist swimmers. The mammals are so well trained to the point where the Navy claims that they have only had a couple die. They also state that no dolphin has accidentally swam away while completing a mission.
With their natural sonar, these mammals are capable of detecting object which the Navy normally can't. This allows for troops to stay out of these dangerous, unidentified waters. The Navy can now worry about other important subjects with the thought in their mind that they are safe. This is because some dolphins have been strapped with surveillance cameras to spot enemy swimmers underneath ships and military vessels. In the end, many lives will be saved by these intelligent mammals.
