USS Penacook, a 230-ton harbor tug, was launched at the New York Navy Yard in October 1898. Assigned to the Port Royal Naval Station, South Carolina, until about 1905, she susequently spent a few years each at Guantanamo Bay Naval Station, Cuba, and the Norfolk Navy Yard, Virginia. In 1911 she became a yard tug at the Portsmouth Navy Yard, in Kittery, Maine, and served at that facility for the rest of her career. After about 1920, she was designated YT-6. In 1939, she assisted rescue and salvage efforts on the sunken submarine USS Squalus (SS-192). Redesignated YTM-6 in May 1944, Penacook was selected for disposal in September 1945 and sold in August 1947.
