USS Nadli (YTB-534/YTM-534) was a Hisada-class harbor tug in the service of the United States Navy.

Nadli provided towing and berthing services in the San Francisco Bay area. She also assumed waterfront fire protection and inner harbor patrol duties on an on-call basis. In March 1946 Nadli was placed in reserve, out of service, and berthed at Astoria, Oregon. She shifted berths to Green Cove Springs, Florida in 1954 and remained there until July 1955.

Reactivated in August 1956, Nadli was assigned to the 3rd Naval District. She was redesignated YTM–534 in February 1962 and remained active in the New York area until 1967. The next year she was reassigned to the 10th Naval District and operated in San Juan Harbor, Puerto Rico, until at least 1970.

USS <i>Nokomis</i> (YT-142) Tugboat of the United States Navy

USS Nokomis (YT-142/YTB-142/YTM-142) was a Woban-class harbor tug built in Bremerton, Wash, and assigned to Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, in 1940. Nokomis was present during the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, 7 December 1941. She was the first vessel on scene at the USS Arizona, and was called off by the officers on deck because of the imminent explosion of the battery below deck. It then left and helped beach the USS Nevada, with Hoga (YT-146), and YT-153. The beaching of the Nevada saved Pearl Harbor's mouth from being blocked. After that the USS Nokomis fought fires and dewatered the battleship USS California, for 3 days. This effort made the California salvageable, to be recommissioned again later in the war. Nokomis was also the last vessel to move the surviving YC-699 barge prior to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Post-war she continued serving Pearl Harbor ships until she was decommissioned in May 1973, and eventually sold for "scrap" to Crowley, in San Francisco. She was renamed Sea Serpent and served many years in the San Francisco Bay as a tug and fire boat. In 1989, after the Loma Prieta earthquake in the SF Bay area, Nokomis and Hoga fought fires alongside each other again.
