Massapequa (YTB-807) was a United States Navy named for Massapequa, New York.
Construction The contract for Massapequa was awarded 4 March 1969. She was laid down on 30 October 1969 at Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin, by Peterson Builders and launched 27 May 1970.
Operational history Delivered 30 November 1970, Massapequa served at Naval Station Yokosuka, Japan.
Stricken from the Navy List 27 September 2011. Naval Vessel Register lists ex-Massapequa as 'Stricken, to be disposed of by Navy sale'. "The Following text is likely the buyers trying to hide the fact that this Tugboat sank whilst under tow by YTB-763 in-route to the Marshall Islands. Both boats were bought by the same buyer. YTB-807 100% sank off the east coast of Japan during bad weather after being forced out to sea by an inept naval officer". Another source suggests that she sank en route to the Marshall Islands.
