The Los Angeles Times reports on the real purpose for the Hughes built Glomar Explorer. It is part of the CIA's Project Jennifer, an effort to recover the wreckage of the Soviet ballistic missile submarine K-129 which sank near Hawa'ii on April 11th 1968. The 63,000 ton HMB-1, or Hughes Mining Barge, would actually carry the claw to be used in the recovery of the submarine as well as hide the sub, once it was recovered. |
