Apologies if I am incorrect, but wasn't Howard Hughes ship the Glomar Explorer ? And wasn't the Soviet vessel K-129 recovery project called Project Jennifer and didn't it happen around the mid-1970's ?
There were two "Glomar" ships involved in Operation Jennifer: Explorer and Challenger.
They were near-sisters, Explorer being newer, somewhat larger and specifically designed and built for Jennifer. But they looked very, very similar. Challenger was used as a decoy during the attempts by Explorer to raise the Golf.

Maybe that is why I called it the Glomar Challenger. I knew the name stuck in my head from somewhere.
