USS Navasota (AO-106) was a Cimarron-class fleet oiler commissioned by the United States Navy in 1946. She played a crucial logistical role, supplying fuel to naval vessels during major operations, including the Korean War, Vietnam War, and Cold War deployments. Throughout her service, Navasota conducted numerous underway replenishments, ensuring sustained fleet operations across the Pacific and other theaters. After decades of distinguished service, she was decommissioned in 1975 and later transferred to the Military Sealift Command as USNS Navasota (T-AO-106), before being retired and scrapped.
