Interesting bit of history:

In the ocean off Coronado, a Navy team has discovered a relic worthy of display in a military museum: a torpedo of the kind deployed in the late 19th century, considered a technological marvel in its day.

This Howell torpedo at the Naval Undersea Museum in Keyport, Wash., was thought to be the only one in existence, but Navy-trained dolphins found another one in the ocean off Coronado. (U.S. Navy)
