The are short and stubby with a high prow. It is more likely that they are yard tugs that will assist the ship in docking. Submarines are pretty much like unpowered barges when they get close to a dock with no lateral thrust capability. Bremerton, WA is the host to a squadron of Ohio Class missile submarines capable of carrying 24 missiles. I am not up on the open Seal Dock but that might have replaces some tubes during a previous overhaul. Anyone have a clue on that? Rick I zoomed in on the escort ships.
