Title:
HMB-1, Hughes Mining Barge, Submersible barge, Project Azorian, Treasure Island
This submersible barge was a top-secret effort sourced by the Central Intelligence Agency to salvage the remains of the Soviet submarine K-129 from the ocean floor. It carried the grappling gear named Clementine. My father was a key figure in the deception as a "Manganese Nodule Mining Operation"

Launched: 1974
Sold: June 2012 to Bay Ship & Yacht Company, Alameda, California
Displacement: 5,800 long tons (5,893 tons) light, 10,875 long tons (11,050 tons) full load
Length: 99 meters (324 feet)
Beam: 32 meters (106 feet)
Draft: 4.0 meters (13 feet)
Propulsion: None

The taking of K-129 is an incredible new book by Josh Dean. I highly recommend reading this true story of almost unbelievable espionage and deception.
