I did not know YTBs were commissioned as USS vessels.

 

If they are not a commissioned USS ship, then they probably would not have an individual rocker shoulder tab. Then they probably would have used the NAVSTA Norfolk shoulder tab.

 

I don't know for certain about the USS commissioning status on YTBs???

Like LST's, some were only numbered, others (those retained for service after Korea) were named. Same with the rockers, many used the 'NAVSTA' tabs, others wore their own
