**USS Lusino (ATF-156)** was an Abnaki-class fleet ocean tug commissioned by the United States Navy in 1945. Built towards the end of World War II, Lusino provided critical towing and salvage services, supporting the fleet with rescue and recovery operations. After the war, she continued to serve for a brief period before being decommissioned in 1947. The USS Lusino played a vital support role during her short service, exemplifying the essential but often overlooked contributions of fleet tugs to naval operations.
