Missing Argentinian Submarine found 1 year after sinking

Anyone have a really strong magnet? Or a giant claw machine?

How do you raise a sub that is that deep?

Too bad the Glomar Explorer was cut up for scrap.

Leave it where it is. Opening it up would be like opening a car that has been sitting in the Memphis sun with an open can of sardines.

The wreck certainly needs to be explored to try to figure out why it sank. Any responsible Navy would do so for technical reasons and because it's the right thing to do by the families of the lost.

Whether or not to salvage it, that's a more difficult question. I would say that should be attempted when there's absolutely no other way to find out the truth. But traditionally, sailors are left to rest in peace at the bottom of the sea.

Rest in peace, camaradas, on eternal patrol.

Kinda difficult today, with the Glomar Explorer long gone.

Atmospheric diving suits max out at 2000 feet. I don't know if ROVs have the dexterity necessary to rig a salvage.

Looks Photoshopped. Here's your $7.5 million.

I should have read the link. It's just a pile of pieces on the bottom.
So leave it alone. RIP

Drillships of today are far more capable than the Glomar Explorer ever was. 3000 ft depth ain't shit nowdays. Last one I was on was capable of 10k water depth. So was the Deepwater Horizon and it was a semisubmersible. I know I know, the nostalgia, the intrigue, the ingenuity of those back in the day. I'm just bringing y'all up to speed a little.
