A claw?
The idea was to build this gargantuan eight fingered claw and a boat and then you would put the claw in the boat, bring it out on the high seas and then you would lower the claw on a three mile long piece of pipe string and then like one of those carnival games, you know, where you have to grab the toy by remote control.
You would position the claw over the submarine and exactly so and then you would
yank it off the bottom of the ocean, pull it back into the boat, gates would open on the bottom of the boat, and the claw and the submarine would come into a chamber, and you would have it.
And you're not making any of this up.
I am totally not making it up.
The CIA made it up.
Because it just sounds weird.
But they did it.
They got the money.
They got the approval from the president.
But they still needed a cover story.
Yep.
And they asked him, or probably his people, do you guys think you could just pretend to have this sudden interest in manganese mining from the bottom of the ocean?
That was the cover story?
Anyway, so they end up building this massive ship.
Yeah, it was built by this company called Global Marine.
Global Marine, GLOMAR.
Oh.
And in July of 1974, they get the boat out there, and they lower the claw.
