USS Nemasket

WIKIPEDIAUSS Nemasket (AOG-10)
A Patapsco-class gasoline tanker in service with the U.S. Navy from 1944 to 1959. Nemasket was laid down 6 October 1942 by Cargill, Inc., Savage, Minnesota; launched 20 October 1943; sponsored by Mrs. Rebecca Hanson of Savage, Minnesota; and commissioned 16 June 1944 at New Orleans, Louisiana. She was scrapped in 2006.

Nemasket carried aviation gasoline to Anguar and Peleliu in the Palau Islands from 12 December 1944 until 18 January 1945. She then steamed to Eniwetok to fuel the invasion fleet preparing for the Iwo Jima assault. Arriving off Iwo Jima 20 February, she fueled over two hundred ships in twenty days. The gasoline tanker then shifted to Saipan and Ulithi 9 March, and 4 April she steamed to Kerama Retto, where she spent three months amidst kamikaze attacks and interminable hours at general quarters. She splashed a Japanese dive bomber "Val" 13 May, 100 yards off her port bow.
