USS Pasig (AO-89)

USS Pasig (AO-89)

The USS "Pasig" (AO-89) was a fleet replenishment oiler in the service of the United States Navy. The lone ship in her class, she was the first of only two U.S. Naval vessels to be named for the Pasig River which flows through Manila on the Philippine Island of Luzon.

Originally built in 1917 by Newport News SB & DD Company of Newport News, Virginia; served the Atlantic Refining Company of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania as SS "J. C. Donnell"; acquired by the Navy through the War Shipping Administration 22 January 1943, and commissioned the same day, as USS "Pasig" (AO–89). "Pasig" was intended for use as a storage tank in the South Pacific near New Caledonia but was replaced by concrete barges. She decommissioned and was delivered to WSA 25 September 1943, and was struck from the Naval Vessel Register 11 October 1943. Returned to her owner, "Pasig" reverted to her original name and served as SS "J.C. Donnell" until scrapped in 1947.
