45' ST Type Utility Tug

Based on a 1943 US Army design, their size came about as being the maximum length that could be transported as a unit aboard a railroad flatcar of the period.  Mass-produced for the war effort, they served both Army and Navy, designated as YTL by the latter. Several are still in service with the Navy. Developed in 1:16 scale for those who require a bit more room to work in, or want a more robust model.
