Talking Porpoise Natty Trains Navy Minds and Speeds
A year into Navy training at China Lake California a seven foot porpoise named Natty demonstrates talking and counting abilities. She may swim 30 to 40 knots in wider water as scientists test how to replicate sounds for possible underwater communication and command uses. They consider a collar housing gear to detect submarines though risk remains if she is fitted with explosives. Natty could someday narrate submarine hunts off Kodiak Island and alert crews to enemy subs.
