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?

Surely that's the Golden Gate bridge I can see in the background.
SG radar even on a little combatant like this! What price being a JFB when your enemy can lavish equipment like this on the meanest craft? [:(]
