Two Woban-class tugs present at the attack on Pearl Harbor.
Hoga (YT-146) was built in 1940, and was moored at Pearl Harbor on December 7th, 1941 when it was attacked. Hoga, and another tug, Nokomis (YT-142) fought fires on the USS Arizona together. After the USS Nevada got underway and began to sink, Hoga went and successfully beached the battleship, saving the ship and stopping it from blocking the entrance to the harbor.
Hoga and her crew were praised by Admiral Chester Nimitz for their "efficient action and disregard of your own personal safety during the attack."
Both tugs were moved to San Francisco and converted into fireboats after World War Two.
In 1989, after the devastating earthquake, Hoga and Nokomis fought fires alongside each other once again.
Nokomis was scrapped in 2010.
In November, 2015, Hoga was moved to Little Rock, Arkansas, and became a museum, the only floating ship that was in Pearl Harbor during the attack. (USCGC Taney was not actually AT the harbor, but rather in Honolulu.
Build is full interior
no download, it will rather be included in the pearl harbor project (very VERY far future)
