Recovering K-129 Through a Moonpool

Casual Navigation Short Today

Description

The Glomar Explorer pretended to mine the seabed. In reality, it used an enormous moonpool and a giant claw to recover the wreck of Soviet submarine K-129.

Part of the submarine broke away during the lift, but the vessel recovered a section of it in complete secrecy.
