USS Paiute (ATF 159), USS Preserver (ARS 8), and USS Utina (ATF 183) from ALL HANDS JULY 1968 page 6. The caption reads: "TUG-OF-WAR- try to pull the bow section of the Liberian oil tanker Ocean Eagle away from the entrance to San Juan harbor." This Navy photo was also printed in the Wednesday March 6, 1968 edition of THE SAN JUAN STAR. The photo shows three YTMs. From other sources I can tell you that two of those three are Hackensack (YTM 750) and Manteo (YTM 751). (Contributed by Orlando Gallardo) |
