I've been looking into this one since yesterday. I think that it is actually an awning around the ship. Notice the small radomes? I think this may be some kind of SIGINT or command ship and there may be some below the waterline things they prefer to keep under cover.

Bingo. Yup, this ship does "covert 'ocean engineering' missions in support of surveillance operations and the recovery of sunken hardware of interest to the intelligence community."
i.e. there is definitely stuff below the water line they don't want you to see. |

It's also normal to wrap portions of the vessel when it is undergoing maintenance to prevent damage to sensitive equipment. I've seen them wrap the antenna masts on Coast Guard buoy tenders (hardly the most secret of ships) while undergoing maintenance.
