Project Azorian: The CIA and the Raising of the K-129

As part of CNA's continuing efforts to stimulate and enhance knowledge and debate on important current naval issues, Norman Polmar will present key findings from his latest book (co-authored with Michael White) “Project Azorian: The CIA and the Raising of the K-129,” and lead a discussion on those findings, in the CNA boardroom on Monday, 6 December from 1000-1200. Project Azorian–often incorrectly identified as Project Jennifer by the press–was the 1974 CIA operation to salvage a sunken the Soviet ballistic missile submarine K-129 from the depths of the North Pacific Ocean. In this new book, Polmar and White argue that Azorian was the most ambitious ocean engineering endeavor attempted by man–comparable to the 1969 moon landing in its level of technological achievement. Norman Polmar–a close colleague of many of us–is an internationally known analyst, consultant, and award-winning author specializing in naval, aviation, and intelligence issues. If you and/or appropriate colleagues wish to participate, please let Loretta Ebner know, at ebnerl@cna.org or (703) 824-2759. Light refreshments will be served.

*** Chairman's Corner: Marine Corps Birthday, Nov. 10

By Navy Adm. Mike Mullen
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff

WASHINGTON, Nov. 9, 2010 – For 235 years, United States Marines have earned a privileged place in our hearts. For we know that when there is a tough job to do, we can “send in the Marines,” knowing that they will get the job done.

From Iwo Jima to Inchon, from Khe Sanh to Kandahar, Marines have always been ready to respond whenever and wherever the Nation calls, prepared to meet any challenge or foe, from sea to shore and beyond.

As long as the world is an unstable place, Marines will continue to fight and prevail with the high standards befitting their title — and with the spirit of the Corps that is in the DNA of every warrior privileged to wear the eagle, globe, and anchor.

To every Marine I say thank you. Thank you for your willingness to make the most profound commitment someone can make — to dedicate yourself completely to your service and your country. I also want to extend a special thanks to your families as well. The Marine Corps simply couldn't be what it is without the extraordinary love and support of our Marine Corps families.

This week, in gatherings large and small, you will come together to honor the rich heritage of the Corps and the proud legacy of the Marines who have gone before you. On this occasion, a grateful Nation commends your service and joins you in celebration.

On behalf of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Happy Birthday and Semper Fidelis!

Next start terms are January 2011 and April 2011.
