Howard Hughes reportedly plans a secret undersea mining project centered at a Redwood City compound. A barge will carry an automated tractor to the ocean bottom to retrieve copper nickel manganese and cobalt, then refloat the barge via surface ship. The Hughes Glomar Explorer, a 618 foot vessel, along with the barge, is being prepared with security around the operation as firms including Lockheed and Global Marine confirm involvement but disclose few details.
