The third USS ''Hiawatha'' (YT-265), later YTB-265, later YTM-265, was a harbor tug that entered service in the United States Navy in 1942 and was sold in 1987. ''Hiawatha'' was built as the tug ''Port Angeles'' under a Maritime Commission contract by Birchfield Boiler, Inc. at Tacoma, Washington, and launched as such on 3 April 1942, sponsored by Mrs. Violet Davies. The U.S. Navy acquired ''Port Angeles'' on 30 April 1942, changed her name to ''Hiawatha'', and placed her in service as harbor tug USS ''Hiawatha'' (YT-265). ''Hiawatha'' performed harbor tug duties for the 13th Naval District at Seattle, Washington, during and after World War II. She was reclassified as a large harbor tug and redesignated YTB-265 on 15 May 1944. In 1948, ''Hiawatha'' was assigned to the 12th Naval District, where she operated as a tug for the San Francisco Naval Shipyard at San Francisco, California into at least the 1960s. She was reclassified as a medium harbor tug and redesignated YTM-265 in February 1962. ''Hiawatha'' was sold for scrapping on 7 April 1987. ==References== * * 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「USS Hiawatha (YT-265)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
