The Kaweah-class oiler was a class of oil tankers of United States Navy during the Second World War.
Four oilers were ordered for construction by the William Cramp & Sons, Philadelphia.
These ships were the remaining four 1917 program oilers, 5450/14,500-ton tankers built to USSB Design 1128 between 1919 and 1921.
Similar in size and speed to the Patoka, Alameda, and Kaweah classes also served principally as transport tankers.
