Do I see a naked swirl around 75 and 30?

Zoom in for best view:

Yeah, I do see it on the Nasa site up-close. You can also see another swirl to east along 70 west. Most of the convection is to the east of the center, but since this LLC popped up, the NHC could decide to sent the plane in to investigate it.

Yes that is a naked swirl. You can also see it on Floater 1 all the way at the top on visible loop.

Yes, it is a mid-UL swirl and a ship almost right under it reported fairly calm wind and 1015mb. It will probably dissapate.

They won't send a plane to a naked swirl unless it is a dissipating system. Plus the naked swirl is headed to an area that is full of ships and buoys...no need.
