USS Chilula (ATF-153) was a {{sclass-|Navajo|fleet tug}} constructed for the United States Navy during World War II.[1] Her purpose was to aid ships, usually by towing, on the high seas or in combat or post-combat areas, plus "other duties as assigned."

Description

{{Ship call sign|N|P|I|N|ship name = USS Chilula (ATF-153)|reference=[1]}}Chilula was laid down 13 June 1944, at Charleston Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Co. in Charleston and launched on 1 December 1944. She was commissioned 5 April 1945, with Lt. O. L. Guinn in command.[1]

Decommission and Coastguard service

After the war, Chilula sailed for home. In Orange on 8 February 1947, she was decommissioned and entered the Atlantic Reserve Fleet. She was transferred to the US Coast Guard on 9 July 1956 as USCGC Chilula (WAT-153). Her hull number was subsequently changed to WATF-153 later in 1956 and then WMEC-153 in 1966. The Coastguard decommissioned her on 19 June 1991 and returned her to the US Navy who expended her as a target in 1997.
