The USS Cimarron (AO-177) was a fleet oiler of the United States Navy, launched on 12 December 1944. Designed to supply fuel and other essential supplies to naval vessels at sea, she played a crucial role in supporting naval operations during the Cold War. The ship was named after the Cimarron River, which flows through the states of New Mexico and Oklahoma. Commissioned on 15 March 1945, the USS Cimarron served in various capacities, including operations in the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. She was decommissioned in 1993 and later struck from the Naval Vessel Register. The ship's legacy includes her contributions to maritime logistics and naval readiness.
