U. S. Navy Motor Tug No. 93 (classified YT-93 in 1920), 1919-1937.
Later Motor Tug No. 7 (YMT-7)

Motor Tug No. 93, a 54-ton, 65-foot wooden-hulled craft originally propelled by a four-cylinder gasoline engine, was built at the Mare Island Navy Yard, California. Entering service in July 1919, she was taken to Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, where she spent her entire career. The tug was classified YT-93 when the Navy implemented its standard hull classification system in July 1920 and was renamed Motor Tug No. 7 and reclassified YMT-7 in 1929 when the motor tugs were given their own hull symbol. She was stricken from the Naval Vessel Register in February 1937 and sold to the Hawiian Dredging Co. of Honolulu in April 1937.
