Marine Services Divisions: Located in Norfolk, San Diego, and Bremerton, with a liaison facility in Pearl Harbor, the Marine Services Divisions accomplish ship and ship systems repair, maintenance, and modernization projects. They provide personnel for planning, material support, and shipboard work, as well as required tools, equipment, services, and material. In addition to implementing company-wide management systems, they also implement contract and work specific systems for:

Common Dolphins are slender, with a long beak protruding sharply from the melon (face and forehead). The dorsal fin is high and curves backwards. Common Dolphins are easily distinguished from other dolphin species by a unique crisscross colour pattern on the top of the animal. This colour pattern is formed by the interaction of the dorsal overlay and the cape. This yields a four-part colour pattern, with dark grey to black over the back of the animal, buff to pale yellow forming an anterior thoracic patch, light to medium grey on the flank and white abdominal field (Perrin 2002). The colour pattern is crisp, the thoracic patch rather yellowish, and the sub-cape stripe is anteriorly narrow and faint (Perrin 2002).

Common Dolphins are found in offshore waters. They have been recorded in waters off all Australian states and territories, but are rarely seen in northern Australian waters (Jefferson & Waerebeek 2002; Ross 2006). Common Dolphins appear to occur in two main locations around Australia, with one cluster in the southern south-eastern Indian Ocean and another in the Tasman Sea.

Globally, Delphinus dolphins are found in tropical, subtropical and temperate waters of the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans (Rice 1998) occurring in both shallow and deep offshore waters (Evans 1994). However, there some uncertainty regarding the distribution of each of the three recognised species as in many cases records were not identified to the species level.

In the Mediterranean Sea, Common Dolphins have declined in numbers. This decline is thought to be a consequence of prey depletion, among other factors (Bearzi et al. 2003). The population in the Mediterranean Sea is listed as Endangered on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. It is thought that the population in this area has declined by more than 50% over a three-generation period (i.e., the past 30–45 years) (Bearzi 2003).

Main threats to the species globally include direct catch, incidental catch, culling, pollution, habitat degradation, environmental changes (such as increase in water temperatures), and competition with fisheries.

In the Black Sea a large fishery operated from 1870 to 1983, taking a large number of Common Dolphins. Direct catches are still known to occur in small numbers in several areas (Jefferson et al. 1993; Reyes 1991).

Incidental catches occur in purse-seine, drift nets, gillnets, and trawl nets in many areas around the world. In the eastern tropical Pacific about 16 000 Common Dolphins were killed in 1988 alone in the tuna purse-seine fishery (Evans 1994).

High loads of contaminants, including PCBs and heavy metals have been reported in Common Dolphins (Reyes 1991, Evans 1994, Holsbek et al. 1998). In southern Australia high levels of cadmium and histological abnormalities were found in the kidneys of stranded Common Dolphins (Long et al. 1997).

In the Mediterranean Sea, competition with schooling fish fisheries is thought to have contributed to the decline of Common Dolphins in the area. However, habitat degradation, pollution, environmental changes and indirect catch in gillnets are also thought to have contributed (Bearzi et al. 2003).

There is no information on movements of Common Dolphins in and out of the Australian jurisdiction, or studies on stock structure of this species in Australia and neighbouring areas. The relationship between Australian Common Dolphins and those inhabiting other regions is thus not known.

Although the nature of population fluctuations in Australian waters is unknown, seasonality in distribution and abundance of Common Dolphins has been reported for several other areas around the world. Substantial seasonal and inter-annual changes in abundance have been observed in the eastern North Pacific, and may be related to north-south or inshore-offshore movements (Forney & Barlow 1998). In New Zealand a seasonal offshore shift appears to be correlated with sea surface temperature (Neumann 2001). In South Africa, the occurrence of Common Dolphins off Natal is strongly associated with the annual sardine run (Young & Cockcroft 1994). In the Gully, off Nova Scotia, the arrival of Common Dolphins to the area appears to be seasonal, and associated with an increase in water temperature (Gowans & Whitehead 1995). These movements may correspond to noted fluctuations in the abundance of this species.

All cetaceans are protected within the Australian Whale Sanctuary under the EPBC Act. The Sanctuary includes all Commonwealth waters from the 3 nautical mile state waters limit out to the boundary of the Exclusive Economic Zone (i.e. out to 200 nautical miles and further in some places). Common Dolphins are also subject to IWC regulations and protected within the Indian Ocean Sanctuary and Southern Ocean Sanctuary (Ross 2006).

Information on the species' habitats is only available from outside of Australia. In most areas where they have been studied, Common Dolphins appear to occur mainly in medium water depths over the continental shelf (Caadas et al. 2002; Evans 1994; Forcada & Hammond 1998), but little is known about those living near or on the edge of the shelf. Common Dolphins have been observed to travel over specific ocean features such as seamounts, ridges and escarpments (Evans 1994). In the tropical eastern Pacific they are primarily associated with upwelling-modified habitats (Reilly 1990). In the Mediterranean Sea they are known to occur in both neritic (over the shelf) and pelagic (open ocean) environments (Bearzi et al. 2003).

Common Dolphins are usually found in areas where surface water temperatures are between 10C and 20C, and in habitats also inhabited by small epipelagic fishes such as anchovies and sardines.

Common Dolphins associate with several other dolphin species. In the Mediterranean Sea, they occur with Striped, Bottlenose and Risso's dolphins (Frantzis & Herzing 2002). In New Zealand, Common Dolphins have been observed to feed in association with Australasian gannets, and on rare occasions, with Minke, Sei and Bryde's Whales (Neumann & Orams 2003).
