The Rainier class is a class of tug boats built for the United States Navy. They are harbor tugs, whose missions include assisting ships in mooring and navigating in narrow waterways, towing ships and barges, and firefighting. They are designed to work with all Navy ships from carriers to barges to submarines. The class includes six tugs, all of which were launched in 2020 and 2021. Five of the tugs are assigned to Navy Region Northwest and one, YT-809 Agamenticus, to the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard.
