USS Skylark (ASR-20)

The USS Skylark (ASR -20 ) was a submarine rescue ship of the United States Navy.

The Skylark in 1945 laid the keel, at this time the ship USS Yustaga should read (ATF -165 ) and a tug, but the name and type were amended in October 1945. Immediately after the launch in March 1946, the Skylark was assigned to the reserve fleet. Only in March 1951, the ship was assigned to the active fleet and drove inserts on the entire U.S. East Coast and in the Caribbean. Starting in 1962, the ship also placed in European waters, including the Mediterranean and Holy Loch, Scotland.

In April 1963, the Skylark went with the submarine USS Thresher (SSN -593 ) on the test drives, where the Thresher was lost. By 1973, Skylark was still serving in the U.S. Navy and was then sold to Brazil, where she was a Gastão Moutinho active until 1988.
