USS Caloosahatchee (AO-98) was a Cimarron-class fleet oiler commissioned by the United States Navy in 1945. Serving primarily in the Atlantic Fleet, she provided vital underway replenishment services, supplying fuel and other logistics to U.S. and NATO warships during the Cold War. Caloosahatchee participated in numerous exercises and operations, including supporting the U.S. Sixth Fleet in the Mediterranean and deployments during tensions such as the Cuban Missile Crisis. After decades of distinguished service, she was decommissioned in 1990 and later scrapped.
