In your article, you describe a large metal structure that you assume is a submarine hull, albeit a seemingly poorly designed one. This pdf claims that the Sri Lankan Army assessment was that the structure was actually an unfinished underwater tunnel.

Is it possible that the large cylindrical submarine or lpv with it's cockpit forward that were under construction had a transport role beyond explosive delivery in mind? Were there any such vessels captured?
