All I can say about GWX is WOW!!!!

Now about my thread title....

Im currently in my first patrol out of Willemshaven. I was off the East Coast of England... In the AN sector. I submerged to do my hourly Hydro check and I hear this REALLY WIERD sound on the Hydro.. It sounded like a cross of Whale/Dolphin song and an electronic almost Lazer type sound

at 090 deg. I chased it for awhile and it went away....

What the hell is it?

Thats what I thought at first...sounded like a pod of dolphins (more than one dolphin).

But that far in the N Atlantic?? I thought dolphins were mainly in the S. Atlantic/Pacific and Gulf of Mexico?

I just hope GWX didnt give the British a new secrect weapon... THE DEATH STAR :rotfl:

Hi!

Dolphins are found in warm and temperate seas and oceans - basically within +/- 45 degrees latitude of the equator. The North Atlantic is a "temperate" ocean due to the influence of the Gulf Stream.

We get Dolphins, Sharks, Porpoises and Whales off our Coast, moreso Porpoises and more and more are sighted each year [Global Warming ?!]

yup, there are a few dolphins in the real north Atlantic.
A local council waste disposal service got told off in Whales (the country near England!) for cutting up a beached dolphin so that it would fit in the bin.
They left the body parts on the beach when none of them wanted to take it to a bin in their car.
That evening a resident noticed the bits of dolphin and recognised it as the same dolphin the town had rescued from the harbor a few years ago. It got on national news here.

*edit* don't even get me started on the whale in the thames story!

There's this village in Norway where a lone dolphin named "Flipper" resides. He's the #1 tourist attraction for the village. I took a swim with him when we went there with our sail boat (it's within "vacation sail boat trip range" of Bergen) before the authorities started discouraging people from doing it (well, dolphins are pretty huge, four metres long). As a side note, I've never seen a single dolphin in Bergen harbour
