Thanks! The new Virginias have a number of external changes from the first two blocks. Besides the two large missile tubes in the bow, the towed array tube fairing is now no longer half round.
Azorian? I was involved for 5 years up to and including the release of the documentary film and the Norman Polar book. I was recruited by Michael White at the beginning of his journey to make the film. He is
the person who is most responsible for bringing the story to light in great detail.
That said, if I had to make a recommendation, I would say watch the film (the CGI is very good at visulazing the technical details) and read the book by David Sharp: "The CIA's Greatest Covert Operation: Inside the Daring Mission to Recover a Nuclear-Armed Soviet Sub". David was in the senior engineer in charge of the Heavy Lift System on the Glomar Explorer and gives a real insider account of the entire mission. His book was finally cleared by the CIA for publication after the film came out. Dave's book is available on Amazon.
The film is here on Amazon Prime:
