About USS Taluga
USS Taluga (AO-62) was a Cimarron-class fleet oiler acquired by the U.S. Navy during World War II. She served primarily in the Pacific Ocean Theater of Operations, and provided petroleum products where needed to combat ships. She was awarded four battle stars during World War II, four during the Korean War and six campaign stars during the Vietnam War. Taluga was laid down under a Maritime Commission contract (MC hull 728) on 23 December 1943 at Sparrows Point, Maryland, by the Bethlehem Steel Co.; launched on 10 July 1944; sponsored by Mrs. Harvey Klemmer; delivered to the Navy at Norfolk, Virginia, on 25 August 1944; and commissioned there on that same day.
