USS Nanticoke (AOG-66)

USS "Nanticoke" (AOG-66) of the United States Navy was laid down by the St. Johns Shipbuilding Corporation in Jacksonville, Florida, under a Maritime Commission contract, on 16 January 1945; launched on 7 April 1945, sponsored by Mrs. Gustav W. Nelson; acquired by the Navy on 31 August 1945; and commissioned on 1 September 1945.

Assigned to the Naval Transportation Service, "Nanticoke" reported for duty on 18 October to the Service Force, U.S. Atlantic Fleet. Arriving at Norfolk, Virginia, on 28 November, she was decommissioned there on 4 January 1946 and returned to the Maritime Commission on 12 January. Briefly operated by the American Petroleum Transport Corporation as "Sugarland", she was acquired later in the year by the Argentine Navy and commissioned as "Punta Delgada" (B–16). Into 1970, she continues to serve as part of the Argentine Navy.
