Two tugs under construction in May of
1943. As you can see
Jensen's was not an assembly line builder like the much
larger
facilities building vessels for the government during the war.
Comments: Jensens built at least 10
Tunnel Tugs for the Navy
following these specifications in 1943. The propellers
are
positioned much closer to midships then normal, and are
located
in a tunnel formed by the hull and stern of the craft.
