  • Significance: The U.S. Naval Ship (USNS) Potomac was one of four tankers built for the U.S. Navy in the mid-1950s to transport refined petroleum products to American bases overseas. After being largely destroyed by an explosion and fire in September 1961, the ship's salvaged stern and machinery were married to a new forward end in 1964, and the reconstructed tanker, under private ownership as the Shenandoah, returned under charter to its previous service. Repurchased by the government in 1976, the Potomac became the first ship equipped with the navy's Offshore Petroleum Discharge System in 1985. From 1991 to 2001, the vessel supported U.S. forces in the Indian and Pacific oceans through a long-term deployment to the prepositioning force based at the island of Diego Garcia. Now laid up, the Potomac is slated for disposal.
