Don't worry, they will be identified.
These are clearly tugs used on WWII US aircraft carriers. The wooden deck structure is well visible. I cannot say which carrier it is, possibly one of the Essex-Class.

Here is a link to a Tamiya model of a slightly younger version, a BNO40 'Mototug' by Fordson:

(Alexander: the model link was broken, I have corrected, I hope that's ok)
