YTM 704 was a United States Navy harbor tug, originally designated as YTB-704 and later redesignated as YTM (Yard Tug, Medium). Built in the mid-20th century, the tug served primarily in the 12th Naval District, providing essential towing, ship handling, and harbor support services. Throughout its career, YTM 704 played a crucial role in maintaining fleet operations by assisting larger naval vessels in berthing and docking maneuvers. The vessel was eventually struck from the Navy list as newer, more advanced tugs replaced older models in the fleet.

Z-1-151-1 Riv-Ron 15, formally known as Riverine Squadron 15, was a unit in the United States Navy tasked with brown-water operations, primarily focusing on riverine security and interdiction missions. Established in the mid-2000s during the Global War on Terror, Riv-Ron 15 operated heavily in the waterways of Iraq, supporting counterinsurgency operations by patrolling rivers, providing security to coalition forces, and disrupting enemy supply lines. The squadron employed small, fast boats and highly trained sailors skilled in navigation, boarding, and combat in challenging riverine environments. Riv-Ron 15’s operations significantly improved maritime security and contributed to coalition stability efforts before its eventual deactivation as part of the realignment of Navy Expeditionary Combat Command forces.
