Former Use: USS Hoga (YT-146), a 325-ton Woban class harbor tug, located at the Arkansas Inland Maritime Museum (AIMM) in North Little Rock, Arkansas. The Hoga was placed in service in May 1941 and served in the Pearl Harbor area throughout World War II. The vessel is best known for her actions during the Pearl Harbor attack. Getting underway within 10 minutes after the first bombs fell, she went to work rescuing sailors in the water, fighting fires, and pulling ships out of harm�s way. She pulled the repair ship USS Vestal away from USS Arizona�s burning hulk, assisted the damaged minesweeper USS Oglala and the battleship USS Nevada. She fought fires on the Nevada as well as the battleships USS Maryland, USS Tennessee, and USS Arizona. In all, the Hoga spent 72 continuous hours fighting fires. The ship is also credited with allowing the movement of the remaining US Pacific Fleet in and out of Pearl Harbor by guiding the USS Nevada out of the harbor�s entrance. In June 1948, she was loaned to the City of Oakland, California, for service as a fireboat. The Hoga remained in loan status for nearly five decades, serving as the City of Oakland. In December 1996, the Hoga was transferred to the Maritime Administration for storage. She received National Landmark Status on 30 June 1989 while still serving as the fireboat for the City of Oakland. The City of Oakland returned the Hoga to the Navy in 1994 at Treasure Island, where she was subsequently moved to the Maritime Administration' Suisun Bay Reserve Fleet.
