One of the yards longest-serving utilities was the Long Beach Naval Shipyard's YD-171, "Herman the German". Captured after the war it arrived at Los Angeles in 1946. With a lifting capacity of 386 tons it was one of four such cranes built at Bremerhaven in 1941.
One had been taken by the Russians, one by the USA, and one by Great Britain. The fourth crane was sunk by the allies at Hamburg. Britain's crane capsized and sank when it was being moved across the channel.
In 1997, HERMAN was sold for use in Panama.
