Happy birthday Pawtucket – love Tonto and T-Bone
Some Wikipedia info on Pawtucket:
Originally known as Pawtucket (Harbor Tug No. 7), the USS Pawtucket (YT-7), later reclassified USS Pawtucket (YTM-7) until disposition, was a district harbor tug serving in the United States Navy in the early 20th century, during the era of the First and Second World Wars. This was the first of two USN namesakes of the city of Pawtucket, Rhode Island and the Native American tribe bearing the same name.
Pawtucket was ordered on 3 March 1897, laid down at Mare Island Navy Yard in California on 22 July 1898 and launched 17 November 1898. The 19th century designation "Harbor Tug No.7" was officially replaced with "YT-7" (meaning district harbor tug) on 17 July 1920.
Pawtucket's entire career was spent on the Pacific coast, active in the 13th Naval District, the Puget Sound Navy Yard being her permanent base for more than thirty years. During World War II she was armed with a single 20mm. gun and served as a patrol craft and minesweeper in the Puget Sound area, with an increased complement of 16. Pawtucket was redesignated "YTM-7" on 15 May 1944.
At the war's end, Pawtucket was declared surplus, placed out of service 13 December 1946, and transferred to the Maritime Commission. She was then sold to the Northeast Merchandising Service, which operated her briefly in Puget Sound before scrapping her in 1947.
