Naval Tugboat Crew

You guide vessels into port and carry out complex maneuvers and operational tasks on the open sea. As part of a small combat-support crew, you operate the "tugboat" — small but powerful, and critical to many of the navy's missions: bringing ships into port, maneuvering large vessels, and responding to emergencies like mechanical failures, complex incidents or rough seas. The work calls for strong technical skill, seamanship, working under pressure and a fast response.
