• Tug with omni-directional propulsion units mounted under the forward part of the hull.
• Most have a skeg under their sterns.

Tug with omni-directional propulsion units mounted aft.

the end of the boat that is tethered to the ship will be termed the working end.

The amount of line force that can be applied to the tug’s working line at zero speed.

The amount of force applied to the tug’s working line at various speeds.

wedge of water between ship and bank builds up forcing bow out sharply

decrease of water level near quarter due to suction of screw to bank => draws stern closer.

where the direction of flow is not restricted by any barriers, the tidal current is rotary; that is, it flows continuously, with the direction changing through all points

in rivers or straits, or where the direction of flow is more or less restricted to certain channels […] that is, it flows alternately in approximately opposite directions with an instant or short period of little or no current, called slack water, at each reversal of the current.

when the tides at the two ends of a strait, such as the East River, New York, are seldom in phase or equal in range, and the current is generated largely by the continuously changing difference in height of water at the two ends.

is the movement of the current toward shore or upstream.

is the movement away from shore or downstream.

one close to shore and often classified as a costal current that flows roughly parallel to a coast outside the surf zone

that is parallel to a shore inside the surf zone generated by waves striking the beach at an angle

The period of incomplete darkness when the upper limb of the sun is below the visible horizon, and the center of the sun is not more than 6° below the celestial horizon.

The time of incomplete darkness which begins (morning) or ends (evening) when the center of the sun is 12° below the celestial horizon. The times of nautical twilight are tabulated in the Nautical Almanac; at the times given the horizon is generally not visible and it is too dark for marine sextant observations.

The time at which the sun crosses the observers upper meridian

an accurate means of determining Gyro Error by comparing what a celestial body’s compass bearing WAS with what it should have been if there had been no error.
