USS Waukegan (YTM-755), was a medium harbor tug that was acquired by the United States Navy in September 1964 from the United States Army for which she had served as LT-1968. Named Waukegan and given the hull number YTM-755, she was assigned to the 10th Naval District at San Juan, Puerto Rico. The tug was based there for her entire 11-year naval career, serving ships in the 10th Naval District. In September 1975, she was placed out of service; and her name was struck from the Navy list. She was subsequently disposed of by sale. Her current status is unknown.
