I was concerned about the jellyfish, until I realized they were riding on a torpedo.

Yes, why are they riding on a torpedo?

The better question is, why aren't you?

But, seriously, they're probably taking it out into more open waters and setting it up/inspecting it before tests. Probably a simple way of transportation. I imagine there was no warhead and it runs on electrical batteries, so it must be pretty safe.
