. WHERE ARE THEY NOW? Many of the WYTM's have gone on to work as civilian tugs around the U.S.  Some were parted out and scrapped, and some were even sunk to make artificial reefs. We've researched the disposition of each ship and have dedicated a page to bring this information to you. The CGTA wishes to thank Ed Anderson, Gerry Ouderkirk, Chuck Cart, Jimmy Felton and Franz VonRiedel for their work in  compiling this information and providing us with the info and photographs in this section.
