Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The first USS Accomac (YT-18/YTL-18) was a small harbor tug in the service of the United States Navy, named after Accomac, Virginia. She was built as the Steam Tug El Toro at Newport News, Virginia by Newport News Shipbuilding, and purchased by the Navy on 26 March 1898 because of the impending war with Spain. She was renamed USS Algonquin, and commissioned on 2 April 1898 with Ensign W. S. Crowley in command. After being outfitted at the New York Navy Yard, the tug reported for duty with the North Atlantic Squadron at its base at Key West, Florida on 13 April. On 15 June 1898, she was renamed USS Accomac. The vessel served at Key West through end of the year. In January 1899, she was reassigned to the Cuban occupation forces and was based at Havana, Cuba.
