The USCG WYTL Fleet

Designed in the 1960s, the WYTLs would fill a need for a smaller icebreaking tug,  to help keep U.S. 
waterways free of ice and to clear harbor areas too shallow for the larger icebreaking tugs

The WYTLs were built between 1962 and 1967.
They are employed only on the east coast, from Maine to Virginia.
