GSF Explorer
''GSF Explorer'', formerly USNS ''Hughes Glomar Explorer'' (T-AG-193), is a deep-sea drillship platform initially built for the United States Central Intelligence Agency Special Activities Division secret operation Project Azorian to recover the sunken Soviet submarine ''K-129'', lost in April 1968.〔Burleson 1997, p. 52.〕〔("Mysteries of the Deep: Raising Sunken Ships: The ''Glomar Explorer''." ) ''Scientific American Frontiers (PBS),'' p. 2. Retrieved: 25 December 2010.〕
The cultural impact of ''Glomar Explorer'' is indicated by its reference in a number of books: ''The Ghost from the Grand Banks'', a 1990 science fiction novel by Arthur C. Clarke; ''Shock Wave'' by Clive Cussler; Charles Stross's novel, ''The Jennifer Morgue''; and ''The Hunt for Red October'' by Tom Clancy.
==Construction==
''Hughes Glomar Explorer'' (HGE), as the ship was called at the time, was built between 1973 and 1974, by Sun Shipbuilding and Drydock Co. for more than at the direction of Howard Hughes for use by his company, Global Marine Development Inc.〔Snieckus, Darius. ("...and another thing... An offshore Hughes who... " ) ''OilOnline,'' 1 November 2001. Retrieved: 25 December 2010.〕 This is equivalent to $ in present-day terms. She set sail on 20 June 1974. Hughes told the media that the ship's purpose was to extract manganese nodules from the ocean floor. This marine geology cover story became surprisingly influential, spurring many others to examine the idea. But in sworn testimony in United States district court proceedings and in appearances before government agencies, Global Marine executives and others associated with ''Hughes Glomar Explorer'' project unanimously maintained that the ship could not be used in any economically viable ocean mineral operation.
