Several events in the Hughes Glomar Explorer story took place in the bay area:

• The HMB-1 (Hughes Mining Barge 1) was built by Lockheed in Redwood City. "Clemetine" the claw that grabbed the Russian Submarine off of the ocean floor was also constructed by Lockheed in Redwood City.
• A secret school was set up to teach the cremembers about Russian Submarine Recovery at the Redwood City facility.
• The Hughes Glomar Explorer was laid up in mothballs in Susiun Bay, where she sat until 1996.
• The HMB-1 was extensively modified to be the storage facility for the Navy's Steath Test ship, the Sea Shadow.
• The Sea Shadow herself was built at Lockheed Redwood City.
• The HMB-1 barge now rests at the reserve fleet in Suisun Bay near Benecia, California.

• Read about the Explorer's Mission.
• Information on the HMB-1 with some pictures of her and the Sea Shadow.
• Collection of Pictures of the Explorer.
• A very detailed description of the Glomar Explorer is here in PDF format from the ASME.
• A YouTube video mentions the Glomar Explorer while reporting on the mothball fleet in Suisun Bay.

I've received a message from a former crewmember that found these pages. The message is:
"Looking for original "A" and "B" crew for possible reunion. --Panama Red"

Note: I've lost contact with Panama Red - sorry

• Global Marine has merged a few times, and the Glomar Explorer has become the GSF Explorer and belongs to Transocean, Inc.
