Some odd ships lines, I like the old style designs and must be the computer generated design. Thanks for sharing!!!

Battleships were very stable (they had to be, to be accurate at long range). No pie-shaped hulls for them. Wide beam is what does it, along with careful hull design. I can think of no reason why such an abrupt stern cut-off would improve stability.
In fact, I can't really think of why a spy ship would need stability, since all the electronic gear would be solid-state, and wouldn't react adversely to rolling.
All spy ships I've seen have had far more radio masts; pretty much a necessity for snooping on elint.
It looks a lot more like a research ship of some sort.
