The information in this manual applies to all Large Tug (LT) vessels with the lowered pilothouse configuration. The
primary mission of the Army LT consists of ocean and coastal towing as well as docking and undocking operations with large
ocean vessels. The vessel's secondary mission is to perform general purpose harbor duties such as positioning floating
cranes, etc. The LT is also equipped to provide firefighting duties, a significant capability where ammunition ships are in
work. The vessel can be used to perform salvage and recovery operations on disabled or damaged watercraft in coastal or
port operational areas. The LT operates in coastal, harbor, and inland waterways, as well as in the open ocean.

CORROSION PREVENTION AND CONTROL (CPC)
Corrosion Prevention and Control (CPC) of Army materiel is a continuing concern. It is important that any corrosion
problems with this item be reported so that the problem can be corrected and improvements can be made to prevent the
problem in future items.
While corrosion is typically associated with rusting of metals, it can also include deterioration of other materials, such as
rubber and plastic. Unusual cracking, softening, swelling, or breaking of these materials may be a corrosion problem. If a
corrosion problem is identified, it can be reported using SF 368 (Product Quality Deficiency Report). Use of key words
such as "corrosion," "rust," "deterioration," or "cracking" will ensure that the information is identified as a CPC problem.
The form should be submitted to the address specified in DA PAM 738-750.
OZONE DEPLETING SUBSTANCES
There are no ozone depleting substances (ODS) aboard the LT. During the CFC changeout program, all ODS were elimi-
nated and the systems that contained them appropriately modified.
DESTRUCTION OF ARMY MATERIEL TO PREVENT ENEMY USE
For procedures to destroy this equipment to prevent its use by the enemy, refer to TM 750-244-6, Procedures for Destruction
of Tank--Automotive Equipment to Prevent Enemy Use.
