USS Zuni (ATF-95)
Work in the shallows, however, was as dangerous to her as to others. While attempting to save on 23 March 1945, "Zuni" was stranded on Yellow Beach on Iwo Jima when a broken towline fouled her anchor and propeller. She lost two crewmen in the disaster, and suffered a broken keel and holed sides. She was pulled off the beach by , temporarily repaired, and towed to Saipan. After further temporary repairs, "Zuni" was towed to Pearl Harbor where she arrived at the end of May. During the more than 14 weeks of repairs she underwent there, World War II ended.
