Nogales (YTB-777) was laid down at Marinette Marine Corp. Marinette, WI., 12 August 1964; launched 24 June 1965; and placed in service 22 October 1965.
Upon completion late in July 1965, Nogales left the Great Lakes via the St. Lawrence Seaway for delivery to the Navy at Pearl Harbor.
Placed in service in October this tug soon steamed for duty in the western Pacific.
Equipped with firefighting equipment and designed to work alongside every ship in the fleet, YTB-777 continued assisting the Pacific Fleet from her homeport at Naval Station, Guam, until she was disposed of in support of Fleet training exercise, 24 April 2003.
