Terry K. Posted January 12, 2014 Share #1 Posted January 12, 2014 I picked this up yesterday. I think it is a mine sweeper but cannot see any identifying features as to which ship it is. Anyone know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RustyCanteen Posted January 12, 2014 Share #2 Posted January 12, 2014 It is an ocean going tugboat for sure, and I want to say Abnaki class. RC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvage Sailor Posted January 12, 2014 Share #3 Posted January 12, 2014 Close, She's a Fleet Tug, but an AT Navajo Class, not ATF Abnaki Class. She has a full stack and the lower portholes in the hull indicative of the earlier design of the pre-war class. They were all designated later as ATF's Your photo is of the class leader, USS NAVAJO (AT-64) on builders trials (note there is no hull number). Here's another shot from the same official USN photo set Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wharfmaster Posted January 14, 2014 Share #5 Posted January 14, 2014 Fine looking vessel indeed. I have a WW2 medal group to a skipper of a tug of this class. W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
