Saco (YTB-796)
The Saco (YTB-796) was a United States Navy harbor tug. Harbor tugs, designated with the "YTB" prefix, are non-self-propelled vessels used primarily for ship handling within harbors and naval bases. They assist larger vessels in docking, undocking, and maneuvering in confined waters.
Details about the specific service history and characteristics of the Saco (YTB-796) may vary depending on publicly available records and specific deployments. Typically, these tugs were built with robust hulls, powerful engines, and specialized equipment to enable them to exert significant force in pushing or pulling larger ships.
Information regarding the Saco's decommissioning or final disposition would depend on naval records and historical archives. Generally, YTB-class tugs are either scrapped, sold to private entities, or used as museum ships upon retirement from active naval service.
