Great answer to an idiot, Johnny! Those band members were always at the
pier when we returned from patrol, and one of the first questions they would
ask us was "how many dolphins did you guys nail?" So I'm pretty sure the
brass, especially the trombone section, knew all along what we were really
out there for!

Welcome to the group from another submariner.

I didn't know anybody in the Navy's marching band so I couldn't tell you
if the brass (let alone the percussionists) were aware of any impact
active SONAR may have on whales and dolphins.
While we're off-topic: some reports indicate a rise in the use of phantom
citations in passive-aggressive Usenet posts.

Cheers,
J

Hi Johnny..just out of curiosity, when did the Navy Brass find out that
the sonar was damaging and killing whales and dolphins? Some reports
say there may have been tens of thousands of these animals killed
because of direct damage or a later inability to navigate or swim.

Any insights welcome.
