Maybe it's for defeating magnetic mines ?

It's what smaller boats are made of. In this case it looks like the fiberglass is way too thin (to me).
Yeah its GPR.
Old saying about boats: "Glass is crass, but wood is good & steel is real"!
Wasn't the airliner that lost it's door made of carbon fiber?
The Bangor is a mine sweeper and the fiberglass hull is, indeed, made to reduce the risk from magnetic mines.
That was a Boeing 737 Max 9. AFAIK they are aluminum. The 787 is mostly carbon fiber.

Yes "sweepers" used to be wooden for the same reason.
North Sea born D/E subs don't have enough ferrous metal in them to shoe a horse from my understanding. Plastic hulls, aluminum engines with titanium crankshafts, etc. Maybe the cranks are steel, but that's it. Bit deadlier than the Pentagon wants to admit.
