A Federation tug was a class of small specialized tug starships used exclusively for towing damaged or disabled vessels. These ships were used by the Federation and operated by Starfleet in the 24th century. Federation starbases were equipped with these types of tow ships.

In 2364, Starfleet sent a tug to rendezvous with the USS Enterprise-D and tow the USS Stargazer back to Xendi Starbase 9.

In 2370, when the warp and impulse drives of the Enterprise-D were disabled by interphasic organisms, Vice Admiral Nakamura suggested he might send a tow ship to bring the Enterprise-D to Starbase 84. Captain Jean-Luc Picard declined the offer.

During the Dominion War, tugs were utilized in the evacuation of disabled vessels from battle zones. The USS Fredrickson was one such starship to benefit from these utility vessels in 2374.
