USS Truckee (AO-147)

USS Truckee (AO-147) was a Neosho-class fleet oiler commissioned by the United States Navy in 1955. Designed to provide underway replenishment of fuel and supplies to naval vessels, Truckee played a vital logistical role during the Cold War, supporting operations in the Atlantic, Mediterranean, and Caribbean. The ship participated in numerous NATO exercises, crisis responses, and deployments, ensuring sustained fleet readiness. After nearly 35 years of distinguished service, USS Truckee was decommissioned in 1990 and later struck from the Naval Vessel Register.
