The Navy tanker YOG-93 was built by RTC Shipbuilding of Camden, NJ in 1945 as a coastal gasoline tanker ( YOG = "Yard Oiler Gasoline" ) for use in the planned invasion of Japan. The single-screw diesel tanker was most recently used by Navy Seals in tactics training and boarding party training. It was reclassified as IX-523 - "Unclassified Miscellaneous Unit". My guess is the engine finally broke down, and it became a barge.
