The Escambia-class oilers were a class of twelve T2-SE-A2 tankers that served in the United States Navy, built during World War II.
They were very similar to the Suamico class (of which they are sometimes accounted a subclass), differing principally in having the more powerful turboelectric plant of the P2-SE2 transports which developed 10,000 shp.
All of the ships were decommissioned and transferred to the Military Sea Transportation Service in the post-war period.
Several were later transferred to the United States Army and converted to floating electricity generating stations, and served in that role in Vietnam.
