USS Noxabee aog 56

USS Noxubee (AOG-56) was a Patapsco-class gasoline tanker commissioned by the United States Navy in 1945. Designed to transport gasoline and other petroleum products to warships and remote naval stations, she served primarily in the Atlantic and Mediterranean during the late stages of World War II and throughout the Cold War. After initial service, Noxubee was decommissioned in 1959 but was later reactivated in 1965 to support operations during the Vietnam War, supplying fuel to forward-deployed forces. The ship was finally decommissioned in 1975 and struck from the Naval Vessel Register, concluding a distinguished career supporting U.S. naval operations across multiple decades.
