Dongtuo 835-class tug

Dong-Tuo (拖, meaning North Tug) 835-class tug is a class of little known sea-going rescue tug (ATR) built in the People’s Republic of China (PRC) for the People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN). Dong-Tuo 835 rescue tug is developed from Nan-Tuo 181-class rescue tug half a decade ago, and thus inherits the same basic hull form and layout, but with various modifications, including a slightly modified hull form in the upper half portion of the bow with a different hawsehole for anchors, and replacing the original mainmast of Nan-Tuo 181-class tug with an enclosed mainmast of H-shape.
