I give up! Google "USS ATR 89" and look for the Wikimapia entry. There are also many images of the vessel.

There is a picture of the ATR-89 as it appeared as a naval vessel here: http://wikimapia.org/#lang=en&lat=40.556082&l...Ex-USS-ATR-89

It appears that it had the steel bow sheathing at that time.



This site also IDs two PCs in the boneyard, plus three LCI(L)s.

The three lamps arranged vertically on the mast below the crossed yard are for signalling in conditions of darkness the vessel's size if it is towing, and the size of the barge or other vessel that it is towing. So it is definitely a tug. http://www.bosunsmate....eamanship/lights.php
