Russian-trained spy whale spooks Norwegian fishermen
Norwegian fishermen are being harassed by an apparently Russian-trained Beluga whale. The cetacean spy was wearing a harness with a fitting for a camera.

"To make sure we ate the most intelligent herring, he fished the estuary. He planted a notice: "Literate herring, this way" below the waterline, at the corner where it met the sea. The paint for the notice was made of crushed heads. Red-eyed herring (sore from reading) would round the corner, read the notice, and sense the estuary water, bland and eye-easing. A few feet brought them within the confining friendliness of his manila net... and a purposeful end."

Russians under every bed?
Last time I checked... Russians speak ... um Russian, not English. The harness is in English, and there is a St. Petersburg, Florida in the United States. St Petersburg, Florida is also the location for several marine research institutes.

Frankie's Two Tribes or Nena's 99 Red Balloons would be a bit more on the pulse of the politics at the time don't you think?
Duran Duran didn't exactly fire up the youth of the day with their incisive political insight.
They just about normalised the idea of eyeliner for boys!

Well since the media have definitely established that it's a military while, then obviously it must be an American military whale. He's just returning from a dangerous special forces mission behind enemy lines where he infiltrated the Russian herring fishery and uncovered their devious plans.
Medals, book, movie rights, and line of sports clothing to follow after his hero's welcome in Washington.

"Equipment St.Petersburg" and the accompanying logo (see video link in article and stop frame at the appropriate moment) will be familiar to those who have encountered Russian military equipment particularly packs and webbing made by SSO/SPOSN. Go fact check yourself if you do not believe me.

" The US navy also uses the mammals for mine detection and rescuing divers."
I am sure I have seen something about training them to assassinate the president - possibly after addicting them to heroin.
This was from the internet, so it must be true.
Could this possibly be The (smack addicted, ocean dwelling echo locating) Hero Your Country Needs.
