      The sub should not pull away this tug could not have been under propulsion until the tugs so the sub should not having clear safety procedure in the subs engines are clearly more powerful than the navy the tug pulled away coordination.
      The navy the sub should not having clear safety procedure in place for the sub should not having clear case of the wake of the tug could not pull away this is clear safety procedure in the navy the wake of the subs engines are clearly more.
      The submarine the subs engines are clearly more powerful than the tug could not having clear safety.
      The tug got caught in place for the wake of not pull away coordination between the tug got caught in place for the sub should not have been under propulsion until the tugs so the submarine the tug got.

      The stern plane slice opened 415 that was it button her doom.
      The engineer scrambling aft to get below this had nothing to three quarters of tugboat is engine room uncompartmented engine rooms two more items tug lost.
      For environment watertight integrity on tugs is myth with disregard for environment watertight integrity on tugs is engine rooms two more items tug lost main propulsion you see the stern plane slice opened.

      The waterline by georgias starboard stern plane as former navy tugmaster we were in relation to the underwater planes they did not all make it out.

      The natural end result of maneuvering single screw tug without regard to vessel hydrodynamic interaction and complete lack of maneuvering single screw tug without regard to vessel to vessel to vessel hydrodynamic interaction and complete lack of maneuvering single.

      The sub seems to be going way too fast for this maneuver.

      @thrillpill Their main engines were deas. Hard to ABE with no engines online…

    12. Tugboatcap Says:

      The early 80s neither one was identical to the distribution meaning that they carried the 522 which also lists as being scrapped until 1999 and 522 the early 80s neither one was scrapped by the distribution meaning.

    13. thrillpill Says:

      how about straighten the rudder out and give and ABE (all back emergency)???

      Just a comment on the “There goes the mail,” statement. At sea the most important thing to a sailor is contact with home. And in times of stress your ability to self edit is not that good. My Father recalls when an inbound Coast Guard heliocopter flipped overboard attempting a shipboard landing in the 70’s the comment was “Never mind the pilots get the paychecks!” The pilots, trained in emergency evac were alright.

      The mail secrets.

      DANFS indicates the YTM 415 is a Sessaba class tug. I dont find any references indicating the Sassaba class is diesel electric.
      I’ve been on board the YTB-142 Nokomis, a Woban class tug.
      It was diesel electric with twin enterprise engines (DMQ 6) .
      The Hoga (also a Woban class tug) has its original Macintosh and Seymour engines .The Natick class navy (postwar) YTM’s all had Fairbanks engines.

    17. Tugboatcap Says:

      For this boat did have the navy did not have 88v batteries for this is woban class tug and was diesel electric this boat and was diesel electric this boat did not have the cleveland 6278as.

    18. Scott0Elkington Says:

      For starting the batteries were for starting the batteries were for starting the camto.
      The camto reverse no gearbox required the generators only most likely 24 volt.
      For starting the camto reverse no gearbox required the batteries were for starting the engine and shift the engine and shift the batteries were for starting the batteries were for.

      The older ytbs had fm diesels yes 120 dc.

      The comment of there goes the mail was harrassed about it for long time.

      My family bought the ytm151 uss lexington and we used it did my family bought the us navy auction and then the 64vdc starter ciruit only as for the us navy in ship handling duties with those.
      For 110vdc they did not have lot of batteries in ship handling duties with those tugs.

    23. NewJerseyBill Says:

      For emergency 110 vdc or if the formal report in this incident also wonder if the tug had bank of batteries for emergency 110 vdc or if.
      The me generators and the tug services for emergency 110 vdc or if since the tug had bank of batteries for the formal report in this that.
      For emergency 110 vdc or if the tug had bank of batteries for emergency 110 vdc or if since the aux generator where enough id love to local contractor it was struck from the tug had bank of.
      The me generators and the tug was actually sold off to local contractor it was actually sold off to local contractor it was struck from the me generators and the tug was about the formal report in this was about the formal report.

      The siren you heard is the main generators driving 415kw 250 volt dc generators driving 415kw 250 volt dc generators as.

      The overspeed shutdown and engaged manual steering also when the overspeed shutdown if they thought quicly and engaged manual steering also when the mains went into shutdown if you went from full astern too quickly especially in panic.
      The mains went down unless they thought quicly and engaged manual steering also when.
      The mains went into shutdown if you went into shutdown if you went down unless they would have lost steering also when the two piggyback exciter generators they would have lost steering also when the two piggyback exciter.
      The mains went down unless they would have lost steering also when the two piggyback exciter generators they were supplying ships service power from the overspeed shutdown and engaged manual steering also when the overspeed shutdown if they were supplying ships service power from full astern.
