History:

The USCGC Bitt (WYTL-65613) was a critical component of the U.S. Coast Guard’s fleet of harbor tugs, built to handle the demanding tasks of vessel assistance and port maintenance. Equipped with powerful engines and a durable hull, the Bitt excelled in towing operations, helping larger vessels maneuver through restricted waterways and safely dock in busy ports.

The Bitt’s role extended to emergency missions, such as responding to vessels in distress and aiding in rescue operations. Its size and agility allowed it to access areas that larger ships could not reach, making it an indispensable tool in the Coast Guard’s mission to protect life and property at sea.

The USCGC Bitt also played a role in supporting port infrastructure, assisting in dredging, positioning navigation aids, and transporting essential materials. Its service exemplifies the vital role harbor tugs play in maintaining the smooth functioning of maritime operations.
