U REP l, After topping off New Orleans in fuel oil and providing her with fresh provisions, Ponchatoula pulls away to a predesignated northwest sector of the splashdown area in order to be in position to pick up the astronauts in the event of an error in their re-entry. Though the New Grleans had enough fuel and food to last severalmonths nothing could be left to chance. So, on February 7th, two days before astro- nauts Shepard, Roosa and Mitchell were due to splash down, New Orleans rendezvoused with another member of the Pacific Recovery Force, USS Poncha- toula lAO-l48l for an underway replenishment. Ponchatoula was commissioned on january l2, 1956 at the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard. As with all Navy oilers, she is named after a river, the Ponchatoula River, which flows through Tongipahoa Parish in Louisiana. During a i966-i967 deployment to the Western Pacific, Ponchatoula seta new Pacific Fleet record by bringing 503 ships alongside, and refueling 464. During the following cruise, which ended in june 1968, she established another record, when she pumped over 74 million gallons of petroleum products to customer ships during the deployment.
