[edit] Grapples?

In Blind Man's Bluff, the Parche did undertake missions that require saturation divers, and I did not recall any mention that it had a grapple that can collect objects off the seabed. They had the "fish", like the ones on the Halibut, which was capable of seeing and diving into very deep depths, but that's basically it. Calyth 07:29, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

Was Blind Man's Bluff ever confirmed by the US Navy as anything more than a collective gathering of rumours and theories that had been printed in various newspaper articles?????? I'm just checking to see if it can be used as a reference as every government agency involved in the book denies that it is.--Joseph Robert 07:15, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

I removed "grapples" from the body of the text as there is no supporting references to them. The item the was removed is as follows: ", as well as a remotely controlled grapple that could be lowered through a hatch in the boat's keel to retrieve objects from the ocean floor." Figured I'd put it here so it is not lost in case another source becomes available.Joseph Robert (talk) 10:49, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
