USS Sacramento (AOE-1)

USS Sacramento (AOE-1) was a fast supply ship for the U.S. Navy, launched in 1956. Its main role was to efficiently deliver fuel, ammunition, and supplies to combat ships at sea, enabling fleet operations without needing to return to port. Designed for high-speed transfer, it helped maintain naval readiness during the Cold War. The ship supported various military missions, including Vietnam and Gulf conflicts, until decommissioned in 1999. Its ability to rapidly resupply large naval forces made it a vital logistical asset, ensuring sustained maritime operations worldwide.
