Some time back in the late 1960’s a nuclear sub sank.Only a US satalite recorded it. Howard Hughs built a special ship (Glomar Challenger)to recover it. According to reports, the part of the sub with missles broke off and sank back into the sea.
This is some of the top secret info that was spilled by the Dems when it was revealed to them in the Watergate hearings.
Apologies if I am incorrect, but wasn't Howard Hughes ship the Glomar Explorer ? And wasn't the Soviet vessel K-129 recovery project called Project Jennifer and didn't it happen around the mid-1970's ?
Again, apologies if I am mistaken.

It may have been. A quick Google of Project Jenifer shows it was the Glomar Explorer but the sub sank in 1968. Recovery was in 1974.
I remember that Huges got hit with IRS fees when the Glomar Explorer was found to be a salvage ship and not a tax free research ship.

There were two "Glomar" ships involved in Operation Jennifer: Explorer and Challenger.
They were near-sisters, Explorer being newer, somewhat larger and specifically designed and built for Jennifer. But they looked very, very similar. Challenger was used as a decoy during the attempts by Explorer to raise the Golf.
