USS Mispillion AO-105

The USS Mispillion (AO-105) was a Cimarron-class fleet oiler commissioned by the United States Navy in 1945. Serving through the final stages of World War II, she played a vital role in refueling ships at sea, thus extending the operational range of U.S. naval forces. The Mispillion saw extensive service during the Korean and Vietnam Wars, supporting combat operations by providing logistical support to the fleet. After decades of distinguished service, she was decommissioned in 1974 and later transferred to the Military Sealift Command before being scrapped in the early 21st century.
