USS Salinan (ATF-161)
Underway, circa 1968.
The original caption reads: "Salinan (ATF-161) underway,
displaying the array of heavy towing and lifting gear which forms
her 'main battery'. The basic mission of seagoing tugs such as
Salinan is to salvage and tow other ships of the fleet
that have been damaged in battle or by weather. They can serve
as the flagship of a salvage unit assigned to a specific task,
and are frequently called on to tow floating drydocks and other
non-self-propelled craft long distances."
