Notes
  • Significance: The Taluga is significant as an example of the T3-type tankers, which were developed with steam propulsion rather than turbo-electric drives. The ship is also significant as the first civilian-crewed oiler in the Military Sealift Command. The crew of this ship, known as the "Taluga Tigers," set the standard for all civlian-manned naval auxiliaries to the present.
  • Survey number: HAER CA-336
  • Building/structure dates: 1943-1944 Initial Construction
