Nash is a World War II U.S. Army Large Tug (LT) seagoing tugboat built as hull #298 at Jakobson Shipyard, Oyster Bay, New York as a Design 271 steel-hulled Large Tug delivered in November 1943.[3][4] Originally named Major Elisha K. Henson (LT-5), in 1946 she was renamed John F. Nash[5] by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Since retirement from the Corps of Engineers, LT-5 has been renamed Major Elisha K. Henson. As of the 1992 date of its listing as a National Historic Landmark, LT-5 was believed to be one of the last functional U.S. Army vessels that participated in Normandy landings.
