USS CHEWAUCAN AOG 50

USS Chewaucan (AOG-50) was a Patapsco-class gasoline tanker commissioned by the United States Navy during World War II. Launched in October 1944, Chewaucan was tasked with transporting gasoline and other petroleum products to warships and remote naval stations, playing a critical logistical role in the Pacific theater. After the war, she continued her service in the Far East, supporting occupation forces and fleet operations. Decommissioned in 1957, the vessel was later transferred to the Colombian Navy, where she served as ARC Almirante Padilla.
