The U.S. Navy is the most powerful navy in the world, and warships are like clouds. You may be impressed by the 100,000-ton Ford-class supercarrier, but you don't necessarily know which type of U.S. Navy's smallest warship is currently in service. This small boat called "Boomin Beaver" (Boomin Beaver) is actually a small military tug with a small and cute appearance, mainly used to perform some chores in the port.
"Boomin Beaver" (Boomin Beaver) in English, Beaver means both beaver and industrious, which proves the busy life of this small ship. The U.S. Navy has ordered dozens of "beaver" small port tows. These small boats were originally built for loggers, mainly for "grazing" in the Grand Canal to chop down wood transported by water. Later it was favored by the US Navy.
The U.S. Navy recently hoped to name one of the small boats "Trump" to express its special feelings for the president. Because it is not so easy to name a large warship, Trump can only be wronged and become a small tug. The
"Beaver" boat is 5.79 meters long, 3 meters wide, and has a draft of 1.5 meters. It can be regarded as a super mini boat, like a bathtub toy. The U.S. Navy ordered the boat mainly for towing small boats, or to tow floating safety grids deployed at sea, just like the lightning nets of World War II, to ensure the safety of large ships.
A small boat is worth $100,000, and it can be operated by one or two sailors.
The small cab and the water drop-shaped hull make this small boat look very cute.
There is a small "beaver" boat on the small pier next to the "Constitution" sailing ship in Boston, which is mainly responsible for doing miscellaneous tasks for the "Constitution" sailing ship.
