Newscopy: "THEY ALSO SERVE - Vessels being removed from mothballs for wartime duty vary in sizes as well as in types. Here is a scene at one dry dock at the Alameda (California) plant of Todd Shipyards Corporation showing four Army ST-type tugs being readied for service. These 'waterbugs' were removed from the Army's small boat reserve fleet at Mayberry Slough by the San Francisco Port of Embarkation and will be used in the docking and undocking of large vessels in San Francisco Harbor."
