HMAS ''Wato'' (W127) was a tug boat operated by the Royal Australian Navy (RAN) during World War II. During World War I she was operated by the Royal Navy in the Mediterranean Sea. She later operated as a tug boat for the Adelaide Steam Tug Company before being requistioned by the RAN. She was scrapped in 1955.
==Operational History==
Built by J. T. Eltringham & Company, South Shields in 1904 for the Adelaide Steam Tug Company and arrived in Australia in October 1904.〔 ''Wato'' served with the Royal Navy in the Mediterranean during World War I.
After being requisitioned by the RAN on 11 May 1941, she was sent to Darwin, Northern Territory. During the Japanese air raid on Darwin on 19 February 1942 she pulled an oil lighter clear of ''Barossa'', and then pulled ''Barossa'' away from the , only moments before ''Neptuna'' exploded. As the war moved away from Australia, ''Wato'' operated around New Guinea until 1944 before being operated out of Sydney at the end of the war. The vessel earned a single battle honour, "Darwin 1942", for her wartime service.
She was returned to owners and was later scrapped in 1955.
