Doc, there was a thread on this craft just a couple weeks or so, ago.

Don't really know what it is. or what it's for,

Looks to be a Submarine Assist Vessel. A way to extract crew members
for what ever reason, ie. medical/ family emergency or possibly insert
or extract special forces, while the submarine is at sea. Keyport Sub
base is close to Anacortes. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Best theory I've seen so far.

I like the whale theory better.

Whales are helped by being beamed up into a tank made of transparent
aluminum. I'm getting really tired of explaining this kind of thing to you.
