It looks like a sub, but it's designed to approach under cloak to enemy ships and stations and strike and destroy, or simply observe while they're oblivious to their presence. If their mission is to observe, then they bug out and no one's the wiser.

They're designed to take full advantage of the Cuttlefish cloaking device, which, while unable to effectively hide capital ships like ships of the wall, can make smaller ships like cruisers disappear, making them hard to spot, especially if they're under silent running.
