U.S. Navy

Patrol Squadron 204 (VP-204) was a U.S. Navy maritime patrol squadron established on 15 October 1942 during World War II. Initially flying the PBM Mariner seaplane, the squadron conducted anti-submarine warfare (ASW), convoy escort, and reconnaissance missions, primarily in the Caribbean and along the Atlantic coast. VP-204 played a crucial role in safeguarding Allied shipping from German U-boat threats in these vital sea lanes. The squadron was redesignated as VPB-204 in October 1944 and continued its service until its disestablishment on 20 June 1945.

**Wenatchee (YTB-808)** was a United States Navy Natick-class large harbor tug. Built by Peterson Builders in Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin, she was laid down on 5 August 1970 and launched on 16 February 1971. Wenatchee entered service later that year, providing critical towing, harbor maneuvering, and berthing services to naval vessels, primarily in the Pacific Northwest. After decades of support to fleet operations, she was stricken from the Navy List in 1996.
