US Army Tug-Transports (post-WWII)

(T) Built Since WWII

Most recent update: November 30, 2012.

In the early 1950s, the Army built 84 new T-boats for the Korean War but most of these never entered military service and were sold in new condition. Many are still active and seem to be popular as small research vessels and as live-aboard boats.
