Escambia-class oiler
The Escambia-class oilers were a class of twelve T2-SE-A2 tankers that served in the United [States Navy], built during World War II. The ships were named for United States rivers with Native Americans in [the United States|Native American] names. They were very similar to the Suamico class, differing principally in having the more powerful turboelectric plant of the P2-SE2 transports which developed 10,000 shp.
All of the ships were decommissioned and transferred to the Military Sea Transportation Service in the post-war period. Several were later transferred to the United States Army and converted to floating electricity generating stations, and served in that role in Vietnam.
