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)
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?
