USS Nashua (YTB-774) was a United States Navy Natick class large district harbor tug named for Nashua, New Hampshire.[1]

Nashua was assigned to the Subic Bay Naval Station, Philippines. In addition to providing assistance to other naval ships and craft during berthing and docking evolutions, she also rendered towing and waterfront fire protection services. Nashua was likewise available to serve as an inner harbor patrol craft and to render assistance in emergency and disaster situations.Nashua was stricken from the Navy List 6 May 1994. NVR indicates that ex-Nashua is under the custodial care of Mobile Diving and Salvage Unit One, Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.[2] Another source reports that ex-Nashua was sold.[3]
It sits in about 65 ft of water just outside of Hickam Harbor. It is very close to Ewa Pinnacles and Poseidon’s Reef.

You can see a few White Tip Sharks loitering near the bottom on any given day. When I get a good location I will update it.
