The scan doesn't show the rope attached to the Brewton's stern. Several days out of Japan, the Rathburn blows both boilers and can't get out of her own way.

Following the installation of the last fish, the cable got a bit unraveled near the tow point. During the Brewton's decom INSURV, NAVSEA reps recommended not to tow at all. It was apparently overhauled during the Fong Yang's stay at Long Beach Naval Station. (color 88K - photo courtesy P. Yarnall)
