USS Seminole (AT-65) was a fleet tug commissioned by the United States Navy in 1940. Assigned to the Pacific Fleet during World War II, Seminole provided critical towing and salvage services, supporting naval operations across the Pacific theater. On October 25, 1942, while delivering supplies to Guadalcanal, Seminole was attacked and sunk by Japanese destroyers off Lunga Point. The loss of USS Seminole underscored the dangers faced by support vessels during frontline operations in the Solomon Islands campaign.
