USNS Navasota (T-AO 106)

USNS Navasota (T-AO-106) was a Cimarron-class fleet oiler built for the United States Navy during World War II. Commissioned in 1946, she provided vital underway replenishment services, refueling ships at sea and supporting U.S. naval operations in the Pacific, including the Korean and Vietnam Wars. Navasota played an essential logistical role during combat operations, enabling extended fleet deployments and increased operational reach. Decommissioned and transferred to the Military Sealift Command in 1975 as USNS Navasota (T-AO-106), she continued her service with a civilian crew until her retirement in 1992.
