Why trawlers and dredgers can hide infiltrators

Trawlers and dredgers can exploit their routine presence around ports as cover for moving people covertly.

Notes

Trawlers and dredgers have repeatedly served covert military purposes. Their ordinary work gives them a plausible reason to operate near ports, channels, and other sensitive waterfronts. That familiar presence can hide people moving into or out of a defended area. For infiltration, an unthreatening civilian profile may be more useful than a vessel built to look militarily capable.
