HMS Tasajera (F125) was a Maracaibo-class Mark I landing ship, tank of the Royal Navy during World War II.

Tasajera was one of three shallow-draught oil tankers built by the Furness Shipbuilding Company of Haverton Hill-on-Tees in 1937 to operate in Lake Maracaibo in Venezuela.

(Source ships without names page27 Brain MacDermott) Seaman Matthew Newlands from Glasgow recorded in correspondence to his young wife Mary that Tasajeera was docked at Tillbury in Sept1943.

(Source Mary Newlands) Tasajera arrived at Plymouth in early January 1944 for repairs and modifications in preparation for the Normandy landings.

As well as repairs and general maintenance work, her forward single 40 mm gun was replaced with a twin version, and she was repainted in camouflage colours.

[2] Tasajera embarked tanks of the Canadian Armoured Corps at Tilbury Docks and sailed for northern France on 4 June 1944.

The invasion was then postponed for 24 hours owing to the poor weather, so Misoa remained at sea, finally arriving off "Juno Beach" at dawn on "D-Day" 6 June.
