Like I said, a tugboat is only a motor boat and enjoys
no special status unless and until it becomes restricted
in its ability to maneuver (RAM) at which time it must
show the shapes and lights of a RAM as well as any
other lights required by the Rules. When the tugboat
is a RAM then it must sound the fog signal of a RAM.

I fail to see why you seem to think there is some special
circumstance involved here.

..... and you continue to fail to attempt to defend your position on the tug
boat by claiming some "fact" which doesn't exist and doing a dance all around
the bloody mulberry bush and never touching on any of the issues.
