LA Times[edit]
Has anybody got more information on the LA times story (authors, how they found out etc.) ?? Also, a better picture may be nice (although I also like this one). Come on, this is such an interesting story ! --Iediteverything 11:31, 8 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Since there is no other "Glomar Explorer", there is no need for extra disambiguation and the naming conventions require that pages should be titled with their most common form and not disambiguated further than necessary. --Lexor|Talk 12:01, Jan 8, 2005 (UTC)
- The ship naming conventions require that ships' articles remain at their full name, with redirects from short forms and nicknames. ➥the Epopt 16:19, 8 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Updates[edit]
The book Blind Man's Bluff [1] claims several interesting points concerning the Glomar Explorer and the Golf class sub. The main one is that there was a mechanical failure of the lift due to it hitting the ocean floor during the first attempt. As a result three of the mechanical arms failed as the sub was being raised on the second try. The book also states that the sub indeed did break apart during the lift. With the part that fell back to the ocean floor went the missiles and warheads along with the code books that the CIA was most interested in.
The book also points out that raising the Golf class sub was irrelevant due to advances in Soviet sub design. Oat57 (talk) 02:28, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
- For what it's worth, according to Kenneth Sewell, co-author of All Hands Down: The True Story of the Soviet Attack on the U.S.S. Scorpion, (ISBN 978-0743297981), the Glomar Explorer raised the entire hull of the K-129, not just a few pieces. I haven't read his new book, and don't even know if the book delves into this topic, but heard the author being interviewed about it on a radio show today. —QuicksilverT @ 16:31, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
- Included is the latest detail concerning the ships status as it is documented that it arrived at the Chinese breakers on 5 June 2015. So I have included this and provided a source reference. The ship status has also been updated. Aquizard 11:15, 17 December 2015 (UTC)
built where and when?[edit]
The article has a category "Ships built in Pennsylvania" but currently this claim lacks not only a citation, but is not mentioned in text (which is mostly silent about when and where the ship was constructed). This is presumably based on the fact that it was build by Sun Shipbuilding & Drydock Co.. Another problem concerns when the ship was build: the article states that the ship "was built between 1973 and 1974", but the infobox states: "Launched: November 1, 1972" and "Placed In Service: July 1, 1973". --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 23:57, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
- I find this article to be mostly useless about the SHIP. I've read about this, and there are several aspects to HGE that are completely ignored here. The claw was known as "Clementine," and the ship was equipped with a "moon bay" that was open at the bottom so the claw (with its cargo) could retract completely inside the ship with NO observable indication. That's just what I remember from a book, but this article could benefit from more about the SHIP than the mission. That's covered in "Project Azorian." And the target is covered in "K-129." THIS article should focus on the Hughes Glomar Explorer as a SHIP! Jororo05 (talk) 14:36, 26 August 2021 (UTC)

Source for Citation Needed?[edit]
Hello -
In the section Project Azorian, end of the second paragraph, it asks for a source for the following:
The recovered section held two nuclear-tipped torpedoes and some cryptographic machines, along with the bodies of six Soviet submariners, who were given a formal, filmed burial at sea.
The following YouTube clip and linked CIA documents would make an excellent source, no?
