Later news reports are saying that the USS Omaha was (also?) in the area and tracking the object on radar, so it's not clear to me where exactly that video comes from. It does look like a periscope, but it could be a camera for an LCS, I suppose. So "stealth ship" may be an apt description after all, even if it's not the usual designation.
I've also seen news reports that a submarine was in the area and investigated the location that the object submerged into, but found no signs of the objects.
The USS Omaha was tracking alot of unknown objects entering the water off San Diego that day, and caught them on radar:
