Billings Models 1/50 Hoga Pearl Harbor Tugboat

The Billing Boats 1/50Hoga Pearl Harbor Tugboat from the wooden ship model kits range accurately recreates the real-life harbour tug boats. This wooden boat kit is highly realistic with many fine details.

The tugboat was approved by the US Navy on May 22, 1941 and dubbed “YT146 HOGA”, after which it was stationed at the 14th Fleet District Pearl Harbor.

After almost half a year of service, HOGA was put on a bigger test than ever had expected, namely the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. HOGA fought for 48 hours to extinguish fires, tow bombings of warships, and to rescue sailors from the drowning death. Today, HOGA is the only existing vessel after the Japanese attack.
