Picture showing parts of the old ghost/ mothball fleet in Suisun Bay. A decommissioned red hull, coast guard ice breaker is in the center.

Picture showing a line of old cargo ships from the ghost/ mothball fleet at Suisun Bay. With the name American Racer on the ship closest to the camera.

Photo of the Hughes Mining Barge, as part of the Suisun Bay Ghost/ mothball fleet.

Picture of the book ‘A Matter of Risk,’ which is related to the Hughes Mining Barge, that used to be part of the ghost/ mothball fleet in Suisun Bay.

I know it was an ecological mess, but sometimes I miss seeing the Ghost fleet out in Suisun Bay.

Also, still crazy to think about ending up in the post script to some book I read as a kid.

Cool, I see @Radiolab is a resource in this DoD Powerpoint on how to do exemptions to FOIA requests :/ #glomar www.accesspro.org/programs/foia_privacy/20...

MT @MuckRock: #IRS employs #GLOMAR non-response to #FOIA http://bit.ly/1GsI0BL http://t.co/C7rBLljVy8

It's been nearly 24 hours. Where are my new @CIA #Glomar tweets? We haven't even gotten onto the Pacific yet. Nor been mooned by Soviets.

Neither Confirm Nor Deny Whether it comes from government spokespeople or celebrit...

You can collect a few @CIA tweets a day on the Cold War saga of #Glomar. Or head over to @Radiolab and get it all. http://www.radiolab.org/story/confirm-nor-deny/

Hey @Radiolab #Glomar episode fans: I also edit @TheLifeoftheLaw, sound-rich stories for the law-curious. http://www.lifeofthelaw.org/podcast/

Who didn't get a #Glomar but a call from @CIA Dir Colby in 1974? @SeymourHersh, who knew big secrets but was persuaded to keep mum @nytimes

So the reporter whose FOIA generated 1st @CIA #Glomar in 1975 was @hank_phillippi--now a novelist, TV journo & still classy lady.

True @CIA didn't invent "neither confirm nor deny." Kissinger, others used in diplomacy. But #Glomar pivoted it to domestic use. That's big.
