Army Gets Portable Tugboat
The army unveils a portable tugboat called a marine tractor that can be shipped disassembled by airplane and reassembled in three hours.

Hunt notes several hundred ordered from Chrysler Corp. A two man crew suffices, far fewer than the 11 or 12 on regular tugs, and any automotive driver could operate it.
