Going back to the USS Jacob Jones and R.P. Resor stories, the USS Sagamore towed the Resor to a different spot. I couldn't find out much about the Sagamore, but the AT stood for Fleet Tu and the name came from the Algonquin Indian word for chief.
It was 157 feet long and commissioned in 1918, serving until decommissioned in 1946 when it was bought and renamed the John E. McAllister before being scrapped in 1953.
In 1928, it raised the submarine S-4 (SS-109).

The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
