BTW both are great looking tugs. I like the lugger and stern set-ups.
Do they have pop up gear in the deck? The dispersent booms are new to
me too. We use to just sit drums on deck and knock holes in them with
fire axes and run back and forth through the spill.

I wasn't PM on those tugs so I know very little about them. Without
going back and looking I would be willing to be pop up stern towing
pins and shark jaws would be typical.

We're doing more and more tugs with "occasional oil recovery" duties.
