Scene on the Sound: Not US

For the last couple of days, I have been seeing this Coast Guard ship doing what appears to be training exercises.

The vessel is clearly marked Vietnam Coast Guard. From the West Seattle Blog, this ship is the former Mellon and decommissioned by the USCG five years ago; at the time, it was to be transferred to Bahrain. 

It is reported to have been acquired by Vietnam in 2023.

    This seems so very odd! Why on earth would they be doing this in Puget Sound?
