HISTGRY OF THE Uss ToLovA CAO-645 Named after the Tolovana River in Alaska, our ship was built by the Bethlehem Ship Building Company at Sparrows Point, Maryland. She was originally com- missioned as a Military Sea Transportation Service Tanker on 24 February, 1945, and served in the Pacific during the final stages of World War Two. Early in 1951, the ship was converted to a Fleet Oiler and in May 1951, she was commissioned in the United States Navy as USS TOLOVANA CAO-642. As a unit of the Service Force, U. S. Pacific Fleet, USS TOLOVANA helps solve the continuous problem of logistic support. The solution involves the transport of supplies to the striking forces, however far removed they may be. Of all the important needs that exist, the most vital is that of fuel. The mission of the veteran USS TOLOVANA, and of all Service Force Fleet Oilers, is to supply and sustain this lifeblood to the Fleet. Since 1951, the USS TOLOVANA has been an ac- tive unit of the Pacific Fleet. Her last deployment which ended in May 1978, was her nineteenth to the Western Pacific. In 1972-1973, the USS TOLOVANA was deployed in support of Vietnam operations for a period of eight and one-half months. During that time she replenished 178 ships and transferred approximately 21 million gallons of fuel.
