Mecosta (YTB-818) was a United States Navy {{sclass-|Natick|large harbor tug}} named for Mecosta, Michigan.

Construction

The contract for Mecosta was awarded 9 August 1971. She was laid down on 16 August 1972 at Marinette, Wisconsin, by Marinette Marine and launched 26 March 1973.[1]

Operational history

Her last posting was to Naval Station Adak.[2] Stricken from the Navy List 28 March 2003, Mecosta was transferred to the Local Redevelopment Authority of Adak 17 March 2004. She remained moored at the former Naval Station for years.

In December of 2015 Mecosta and her sister ship Redwing broke their mooring lines and went adrift in a storm. Redwing sank in the harbor, while Mecosta went aground in tidelands.[3] Her owner had no money to take any action and by early 2017 Mecosta had capsized and lay on her port side in the mud.[4]
