Dolphin Deaths – the Royal Navy has been blamed for driving dozens of dolphins to an agonising death during anti-submarine war games.   A four year investigation by scientists has ruled out every other cause for the UK’s largest stranding of common dolphins in shallows off the coast of Cornwall in 2008.    At the time, the area was hosting a week of ‘live fire’ war games involving twenty (20) Royal Navy ships, helicopters and submarines – including the Fleet Submarine TORBAY,    Eleven (11) foreign vessels were also present in the area.   The scientists now believe trials of anti-submarine warfare techniques, using a range of mid-frequency sonar devices in the water to detect hidden vessels, were the most likely cause of the dolphins’ deaths.   The Royal Navy has rejected the investigation’s findings.
