USS Escatawpa (AOG-27) was a Mettawee-class gasoline tanker in service with the United States Navy from 1944 to 1946. In 1947, she was sold to Standard Oil tanker where she served as M/T Esso Porto Alegre until she sank in 1970.

History

Escatawpa was launched by the East Coast Shipyard, Inc., Bayonne, New Jersey, on 3 June 1944 and commissioned on 18 August 1944.

1944-1947

She was assigned to the U.S. Pacific Fleet, operating thereafter in fueling ships and craft on an inter-island circuit in the central Pacific Ocean. A typhoon drove her aground at Kagoshima Kaiwan on 17 September 1945. She was refloated on 10 October and returned to San Francisco, California, where she was placed out of commission on 20 March 1946 and subsequently transferred to the Maritime Commission for lay up in the National Defense Reserve Fleet.

1947-1970

She was sold for commercial service in April 1947 to Standard Oil of Brazil where she served as M/T Esso Porto Alegre until she sank in 1970.
