Historical Notes
Kyle Stubbs states (June 2026): "The series of US-Navy ordered YTLs numbered 711-717 is known to have been cancelled prior to delivery due to the cessation of hostilities at the end of WWII. As a result, there is a reasonable possibility this hull was either sold incomplete, or completed by the builder as a fishing tender."
