USS Nausett (IX-190)

USS Nausett (IX-190)

USS "Nausett" (IX–190) was an auxiliary ship in the United States Navy.

"Nausett" was a tanker completed in April, 1918, by the Bethlehem Shipbuilding Corp., Alameda, California. She served the Atlantic Refining Co., Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, as SS "W. M. Irish" until acquired in early October 1944 by WSA for U.S. Navy use as a mobile floating storage unit.

Acquired by the U.S. Navy

Renamed "Nausett" 29 October 1944, she was accepted by theU.S. Navy on a bare boat charter and commissioned at Pearl Harbor, 8 January 1945. On further inspection, necessary alterations were deemed too expensive to warrant the expenditure.

Decommissioning

In June, "Nausett" was placed in reduced commission pending her return to WSA on the West Coast. On 23 September 1945, she arrived at San Francisco, California, where she decommissioned and was delivered to WSA, 12 October 1945. Twelve days later she was struck from the Navy Register.
