Looks like a U.S. Coast Guard Tender - Cactus Class AGL
Cannot identify specific ship #38.

Is it just me, or does that craft strike a resembalance to Captian Jacques Cousteau's boat, I am sure he used some type of former naval craft. well it is probably just my imagination, but does anybody know what type of craft he did use?

CGC Storis, it is:)

The CGC Storis in 1942 was a part of a new generation of supply ships. the 230 foot tender had a strenghtned hull for icebreaking, light anti-submarine armament,sonar,the equipment to handel a seaplane and a spacious cargo hold.
