Neither are the Danes, I’m sure.

There are many reasons the sub could have been there. Surveillance of the Danes (we watch our allies even in sane administrations); surveillance of units surveilling the Danes; practice hiding; in transit to someplace else; etc. They might have been someplace else entirely and this was the closest place to do a transfer.
