USS Cimarron (AO-22)

USS Cimarron (AO-22) was a Cimarron-class fleet oiler commissioned by the United States Navy in March 1939. Serving extensively during World War II, she played a critical logistical role in the Pacific Theater, supplying fuel to warships during major operations including the Battles of Midway, Leyte Gulf, and Okinawa. Cimarron's efficiency and resilience under threat earned her twelve battle stars for her wartime service. After the war, she continued to support naval operations during the Korean War before being decommissioned in 1965.
