The second Manistee (YTB‑782) was laid down 9 August 1965 by the Marinette Marine Corp., Marinette, Wis., and launched, without ceremony, 20 October 1965. On 23 November 1965, Manistee, in company with another newly constructed tug, USS Redwing (YTB-783), departed the builder’s yard for delivery to the Naval Station, San Diego, California., where she was placed in service in June. Since that time, into 1969, Manistee, fitted with special fenders to allow work with the Navy’s newer round hulled nuclear power submarines, has remained in the 11th Naval District, assisting larger Navy ships in docking and performing general towing services.
