Satellite Images Suggest North Korea Is Training Kamikaze Dolphins
Mysterious floating pens in North Korea resemble those used to house trained dolphins.
Many navies around the world train marine mammals for a variety of underwater tasks.
If true, North Korea is probably training dolphins to sabotage U.S. and South Korean warships.
Satellite images of a river in North Korea suggest the northeast Asian country is keeping a population of dolphins, likely for military purposes.

The pens appear similar to those used by countries that train marine mammals for military missions. North Korea’s aggressive military posture suggests it's teaching dolphins to carry out attacks on enemy ships during wartime.

The location of the alleged dolphin pens. The pens have since expanded from two to five.
The location, spotted by U.S. Naval Institute News's H.I. Sutton, is on a tributary of the Taedong River, approximately 8 miles from the mouth of the river as it merges with the Yellow Sea. The location originally featured two circular-shaped pens, as seen above, that expanded to five pens within the last year. The pens first appeared in 2016.

According to Sutton, the pens are similar to those used by American and Russian military forces to keep marine mammals. Both countries have active marine mammal naval programs, with the animals trained to detect divers and saboteurs.

Russia Probably Sent Military Dolphins to Syria
Dolphins in U.S. Navy service are referred to as Mark 7 Marine Mammal Systems and are trained to tag underwater mines for disposal by human divers. Sutton believes the Russian Navy sent dolphins to its base at Tartus, Syria to provide security for visiting warships.

The location of the alleged marine mammal pens has led to debunking charges that the pens are home to fish, not dolphins, meant for human consumption. The pens are different from aquaculture pens used by North Korea to raise fish. The country’s fishing farm pens are square and laid out in thick grids, and there are many examples along the Taedong River.
