uss Mazama AE9

USS Mazama (AE-9) was an ammunition ship commissioned by the United States Navy in 1944 during World War II. She provided vital logistical support by transporting and supplying ammunition to combat ships in the Pacific Theater, particularly during the campaigns at Leyte Gulf, Iwo Jima, and Okinawa. Mazama survived a torpedo attack by a Japanese submarine in January 1945, sustaining damage but managing to continue her mission after repairs. Following World War II, she supported operations during the Korean War and served until her decommissioning in 1960.
