USS ''Secota'' (YTB-415) was a harbor tug that served in the United States Navy from 1945 to 1986. ''Secota'' was assigned to the Pacific Fleet soon after delivery to the Navy. She was at Okinawa in August 1945; visited Tsingtao, China in July 1946; and replaced at Yokosuka, Japan, on 20 August 1947. During 1950, ''Secota'' visited Hungnam and Pusan, Korea; her last recorded port of call was Sasebo, Japan, apparently returning to Japan from Korea during the waning days of 1950. After that time, ''Secota'' was continuously assigned to advanced American bases in the Pacific. In February 1962 she was redesignated a medium harbor tug, YTM-415. On 22 March 1986, near Midway Island, ''Secota'' had just completed a personnel transfer with the when ''Secota'' lost power and collided with ''Georgia''. ''Secota'' lost power before it was clear, causing an impact with the sub's stern dive planes, where the tug got hung up.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Sub sinks a tug boat )〕 ''Secota'' sank; ten crewman were rescued, but two crew trapped in the engine room drowned. While the media reported that the ''Georgia'' was undamaged,〔 〕 a report sent by the Commanding Officer of the ''Georgia'' indicates that after returning the surviving crew members to Hawaii, ''Georgia'' underwent emergency repairs for minor damage sustained in the collision. ==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 Secota (YTM-415)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
