USS Yuma (AT-94)

USS Yuma (AT-94/ATF-94/T-ATF-94) was a Navajo-class fleet tugboat constructed for the United States Navy during World War II. She was the second U.S. Navy ship named for the Yuma tribe of Arizona.

Yuma was laid down in February 1943, launched in July 1943, and commissioned in August 1943. She was 205 feet (62.5 m) in length, 38 feet 6 inches (11.7 m) abeam, and displaced 1,235 long tons (1,255 t). She was armed with a single 3-inch (76 mm) gun and four anti-aircraft guns of smaller calibers.

Yuma served in the Pacific Ocean during World War II and earned two battle stars. After the war she remained in service in the Far East through 1949. After a one-year stint on the West Coast, Yuma returned to the Pacific and served in the combat zone of the Korean War in 1951 and 1952, earning two battle stars for her service. She alternated between operating out of Pearl Harbor, Guam, Japan, and the Aleutians over the next three years. After her 1955 return to the west coast, Yuma was decommissioned.

In 1958, Yuma was transferred to the Military Sea Transportation Service and placed in service as USNS Yuma (T-ATF-94). After a short period of west coast operations, Yuma steamed to Karachi, Pakistan, where she was taken out of service. She was stricken from the Naval Vessel Register in March 1959, she was turned over to Pakistan on loan for operation as the Pakistan Navy ship PNS Madadgar (A-234). Her ultimate fate is unknown.
