Hythe improve US Army LT series tugs
The United States Army – Combat Equipment Battalion atHythe on Southampton Water is in the process of carrying out a unique reconstruction programme on a series of powerful twin-screw tugs. All six of the tugs concerned are just 10 years old but during their relatively short working lives have been found to have significant deficiencies, particularly with regard to stability. Described as The US Army Centre of Excellence for Watercraft Maintenance , the Hythe base is manned largely by civilian engineering and shipyard staff and is accustomed to project work of this kind.
