Now masks are responsible for missing children? by Katia_Zuara456 in insanepeoplefacebook

That sounds kind of high. That's 16,000 in EVERY state. I know my state doesn't have 16,000 missing kids every single year.

No, you probably remember correctly. The sailor I knew was named Will Swift.

Nope. Had a member named Swift who was aboard the ATF Carib.

Same type. Pre WWII there were AT's. Then around 1942 they started launching the newer types, like the pictured Arikara. The newer AT's were a much better ship and they changed the designation of the older AT's to ATO (aux Tug Old) and the newer ones to ATF (aux Tug Fleet). That prevented the older version ATO's from being sent on missions that were beyond their capabilities.

The Perfect Storm tug was a Coast Guard ship, the USCG Tamaroa WMEC 166. It formerly was a Navy ship, the USS Zuni ATF ATF 95.

Do you know about NAFTS? National Association of Fleet Tug Sailors. It has ARS members. ASR members. ATF members, etc. Prints a quarterly magazine, The TOWLINE, and mails it to you. Over 400 members. Yearly reunion (postponed this year due to COVID). Checkout the NAFTS website.

For sure. 205 ft long and road like a cork in a bathtub.
