Tug STRONGBOW assists USS SICILY to berth in King George V Dock, Glasgow

   The United States Navy escort aircraft carrier U.S.S. SICILY

had been towed from Greenock by four tugs of Steel & Bennie Ltd. of Glasgow, tugs WARRIOR and STRONGBOW at the bow and

tugs BRIGADIER and FORAGER at the stern, and was berthing in 

King George V Dock, Glasgow.

   It was quite fitting that the tugs, whose names have

military connotations, were used to handle the vessel.
