Product Details
- USNS Tonti (T-AOG-76) was a T1 tanker type, Tonti-class gasoline tanker, in operation for the United States Navy from 1948 through 1960. She was originally constructed as MS Tavern for the United States Maritime Commission at the end of World War II, and intended for delivery to the United Kingdom under the terms of Lend-Lease. Although her construction was suspended in August 1945 after the war’s end, the ship, renamed Tonti after an early explorer of North America, was completed in December 1945. From June 1948 to July 1960, the tanker was operated by a private company on behalf of the U.S. Navy. After being laid up in 1960, the ship was transferred to Colombia in January 1965. As ARC Mamonal (BT-62), she served the Colombian Navy until 1975, when she was scrapped. (info from Wikipedia)
