Notes
  • Significance: The Wichita is significant as the first of seven ships designed as auxiliary replenishment oilers (AOR) that served in the U.S. Navy. The Wichita class design was based on the Sacramento (AOE-1), which was a fast combat support ship. The AOR was slightly smaller and slower and carried less cargo than the AOE, but it retained the same configuration for transferring supplies. The Wichita served for twenty-four years in the U.S. Navy and earned four battle stars in the Vietnam War. These honors included the coveted Battle Efficiency Award, the Navy Expeditionary Medal, the Humanitarian Service Medal, and the Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal.
