Glomar

Glomar

Glomar may refer to:

* The former Global Marine Inc., a drilling contractor, which merged with Santa Fe International Corporation to form GlobalSantaFe Corporation
* Glomar Challenger, the drillship used for the Deep Sea Drilling Program.
* USNS Glomar Explorer (T-AG-193) - The "Glomar Explorer" was a large salvage vessel built by the CIA for Project Jennifer — an attempted salvaging of a sunken Soviet nuclear submarine. The CIA had chosen to "neither confirm nor deny" the existence of the project, and this claim to secrecy based on nation security survived a United States Supreme Court challenge.
* The "Glomar case" refers to the above legal case.
* The term "Glomar response" has since been used in United States law to refer to a "neither confirm nor deny" response by agents of national security as valid, given that the circumstances truly require it, and do not conflict with Freedom of Information Act precedent.

* Deniability
