Yuma was built at San Diego, California, by National Steel and Shipbuilding Company (NASSCO),[2] for the United States Army, which took delivery of her in 1954, and designated her "large tug" LT-2078. The U.S. Navy acquired LT-2078 from the Army in September 1964. The Navy classified her as a medium harbor tug, designated her YTM-748, and named her Yuma.
