Summary

Description
English: USS Ponaganset (AO-86), at the General Ship and Iron Works, Boston, MA., 9 December 1947, shortly after breaking in half during reactivation. Ponaganset was one of 24 tankers that the Navy reacquired in late 1947 to bring fuel oil for the fleet from the Persian Gulf. Fractures like this had been a problem since late 1942 in war-built welded ships, particularly in Liberty ships and T-2 tankers. Ponaganset was replaced in the Navy's reactivation plan by Mission Santa Ana (AO-137).
