i actually learned something from the replies that i think people were assuming i knew. glomar isn't a case, it's a reference to the first (or at least best-known invocation of "can not confirm or deny" and referred not to a case but a drillship involved in a wild CIA project.

Now in situ for a month.
It got a visit from VIKING REACH in the last few days - maybe bringing some personnel & supplies.
I went back through AIS tracks and note KOMMANDOR IONA visited/surveyed same area twice, earlier this year.
ORCA is "Currently configured as a geotechnical drillship".

I mean, no. It can't. Not without a drillship (which there was no plan to replace). Much of marine geology is hobbled for 20+ yrs as long as we don't have the infrastructure to collect samples/data. This all happened a year before the current NSF disasters.
I'm in my 40s. I can't wait.
