I do not care about google's hype machine oriented around these :mysterious: ships.

Google: put up or shut up. This is stupid.

If what they're doing isn't shutting up, what is?

I think the parent is insinuating that Google is not only not shutting up, but in fact, these activities are part of the lead-up to some PR event.

ATTENTION TINFOIL-HAT WEARING HN READERS: You may now start worrying that these barges are in fact floating versions of the NSA's Utah data center, built to accompany the USS Jimmy Carter as it roams around tapping undersea cables [1]

The sub has very limited data storage capacity, these floating 'privacy destroyers' do not.
