It was allies who had dolphins in Red Alert 2. Soviets had giant squids as a comparable sea asset.

Soviets got giant squids, subs (because sneaky commies), flak ships, and missile cruisers. Meanwhile allies got dolphins (which could easily take down squids in a group), destroyers (sub hunting, could see subs and launch helicopter/plane), aegis cruisers (anti-missile defense), and aircraft carriers. Both sides also got hovercraft.
