Per the Navy's article, that was a support boat that was carrying generators and equipment used by the sink crew that was too bulky to lift off and couldn't be sunk. It was waterproofed and tied down in the boat, and the boat was left on the flight deck to float off as the carrier went down.

Riding in that little boat would have been a blast.
