The US Pacific Fleet fields over 400 ships and relies on harbor tugs to steer carriers into port. A typical dawn shift aboard a 400 ton tug begins with coffee and bacon as crews prepare to dock the massive USS Constellation at the harbor entrance, guiding it to Pier 5.
In Pearl Harbor a carrier the size of the Constellation requires multiple harbor tugs and tight radio coordination. The USS Constellation, over 1000 feet long and 60,000 tons, is guided by a carrier pilot who issues precise ahead and back commands while tugboats attach stern and bow lines. After about 15 minutes of coordinated maneuvering, the carrier is secured to the pier and the Union Jack is raised as tugs disengage.
