Anybody with even a minimal knowledge of military hardware would immediately see that this was not a US submarine.

The US has not built a diesel submarine in decades, which means US subs are designed to cruise underwater, not on the surface. Therefore, no US submarines have an angled bow. Rather, the deck slopes off gradually to a bow that is pointed at the tip of the boat. It has been that way for the past thirty years, at least.

Also, this thing looks like a bathtub toy compared to the much larger US nuclear powered subs.

If it was a JMSDF boat there would be some excuse: they have the big boat look
