There's a piece of artwork on the walls of the CIA (available to see by those who have access, it's unclassified) that dramatically shows the recovery operation, including showing the one failed grabber that lost one piece of the sub (if that is to be believed): https://shipscribe.com/usnaux2/AG/glomarexp3b-h09.jpg
"This painting representing Project AZORIAN is displayed in one of CIA's corridors with other paintings of key events in the Agency's history which, while not open to the public, are shown to uncleared visitors as well as employees. It clearly shows the grabber on the capture vehicle that failed, dropping much of the submarine back to the ocean floor."
