The '''''Abnaki''-class tug''' is a [[Ship class|class]] of [[United States Navy]] [[fleet ocean tug]]s which began construction in November 1942. Comprising 35 oceangoing [[tugboat]]s, the class was constructed in response to the needs of [[World War II]], but members of the class served in the [[Korean War]] and [[Vietnam War]] as well. The United States Navy no longer has any ships of this class in active duty.
