Well it sure looks like a fishing boat to this totally untrained eye. I'm gonna guess that it's a net-tender.

No, but ought to be in the running.  Very well designed for their intended job, and probably had more actual impact on the war than most of floating junk piles/money pits/resource hogs being bandied about as "Best Designed".

Looking at the garb on the sailors and the hazy background, I am going to take a stab at location: Dutch Harbor?
