CHEROKEE NAVAJO Class tugboat
The Cherokee class of
fleet tugboats, originally known as the Navajo
class, were built for the United States Navy prior
to the start of World War II. They represented a
radical departure from previous ocean-going tug
designs, and were far more capable of extended open
ocean travel than their predecessors. Cherokee class
tugboats were also the first large surface vessels
in the United States Navy to be equipped with
Diesel-electric drive.
