Low iron, high purity zinc anodes were installed on bottom of harbor tug YTB-542 as sacrificial anodes; hull potential readings were taken weekly for 15 mo period; after which vessel was drydocked and hull examined; protective potentials, referred to silver-silver chloride half cell, of -- 0.85 to -- 0.90 v were maintained with ship at rest and averaged -- 0.78 v, when underway; condition of hull was excellent.
