...been blown, the ship would have been used for recovering other seabed prizes like missile re-entry vehicles and underwater listening devices. Instead, the Government has put the vessel up for sale. Last week the National Science Foundation said it would study the possibility of using the ship for deep-sea research. The General Services Administration has also offered to lease the ship to firms interested in using it to mine minerals in the ocean-precisely what the Glomar Explorer was supposed to be up to when it first sailed off on its CIA mission...
