USS Chiwawa (AO-68)
USS ''Chiwawa'' (AO-68) was a T3-S-A1 constructed for the United States Navy during World War II. She was the only U.S. Navy ship named for the Chiwawa River in Washington.
==History==
''Chiwawa'' was launched 25 June 1942 by Bethlehem Steel Co., Sparrows Point, Maryland, under a Maritime Commission contract as ''SS Samoset''; sponsored by Mrs. H. G. Smith; acquired by the Navy 24 December 1942; commissioned the same day, Commander Harold F. Fultz in command; and reported to the Atlantic Fleet.
The ''Chiwawa'' was designated a T3-S-A1 design, where "T" stood for tanker, "3" meant longer than , "S" stood for single-screw steam propulsion, and "A1" meant first design of its kind.〔Strupp, Jon L. ''King of the Oilers: The Story of the U.S.S. Chiwawa A0-68''. Edina, Minn.: Beaver's Pond Press, 2007; pages 5 - 6.〕〔The ''Chiwawas'' were in fact near duplicates of SS ''Mobilfuel'', the basis of the T''2'' design, but waterline length had crept over .〕
