Neat ship. Used to fish next to the Glomar for sturgeon. The buoys are
still there and the area of the mothball fleet is still referred to as the
Glomar. Most of the Susuin mothball fleet is gone now.

That was a very slick operation conceived in the Nixon administration
and perhaps missed by the world in the confusion around his
resignation but it was really cool.
