Does anyone know the name of the tugboat?

Name is being kept hidden I believe for safety reasons.

NASA reports the core stage departure: https://www.nasa.gov/centers/stennis/news/image-feature/2021/NASAs-Space-Launch-System-Core-Stage-Heads-to-Kennedy-Space-Center

Some images of the Pegasus with the core stage after the departure attached.

NASA photo at this link:  https://images.nasa.gov/details-DSC_0042 ; shows the rear of the SLS engine section.
Select to download the full size photo, and you can see better.
This is part of the fuller NASA gallery at:  https://images.nasa.gov/
I assume the blackened rear of the engine section is a result of the insulation fire during the second green run?  It looks rather impressive and sooty.

Here are a couple of tweets showing the loading.  They also expect that the core stage should arrive at KSC around April 27th weather dependent.
