Vaga II YTB-374

Placed in service soon thereafter, Vaga was initially allocated to the 14th Naval District and proceeded to the Hawaiian Islands to perform tug and tow services and to provide waterfront fire protection at the important Pacific Fleet base at Pearl Harbor. Subsequently placed out of service, in reserve, at San Diego with the Pacific Reserve Fleet, in March 1946, Vaga remained inactive through the late 1950's.

Reactivated in January 1961 and reclassified YTM374 in February 1962, Vaga resumed her harbor tug duties at San Diego, Calif., with the service force of the Pacific Fleet. For the next decade, she operated out of that port until taken out of service and struck from the Navy list on 1 October 1972. She was sold in August 1973.
