This is the Smallest U.S Navy Ship

When it comes to war machines, it is generally believed that size matters for all the intimidating reasons. However, as seen from the above picture, not all Navy ships are created equal as a little tugboat that has popped up on Reddit earlier this week has established.

The Navy has smaller vessels of course—but they just aren’t “warships” and the smallest of them all is the Boomin Beaver-class security tug, which is just 19 feet long and has a draft of five feet.

The tugboat was originally built for loggers by Chuck's Boat and Drive in Longview, Washington. However; their story would continue in the U.S. Navy after the government purchased scores of them to carry out harbor duties.
