In continuous active service in the U.S. Pacific Fleet since her commission- ing on July 17, 1943, TAWASA proudly wears the Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Rib- bon QWorld War ID with three battle stars the China Service Medal, the Korean Ser- vice Medal and United Nations Service Medal with two battle stars, the Korean Presidential Unit Citation Badge, and the Vietnam Service Medal with one battle star for her 1968 deployment. During the battle for Kwajalein she steamed ahead of the USS Mississippi taking soundings so that the battleship could safely posi- tion herself for shore bombardment. Her crew of 60-70 enlisted men and 5-6 of- ficers engage in ocean towing, target towing, and salvage, diving, and search and rescue operations.
