The second USS Abarenda (IX-131) was a storage tanker, one of many miscellaneous-class Navy vessel crewed by the United States Coast Guard during World War II.
Acme was an Emergency Fleet Corporation design 1047 tanker laid down by the Union Iron Works in San Francisco, in 1916, for the United States Shipping Board.
[2] Acme was designed for transporting oil in bulk to Far Eastern ports that had been served by British ships before the outbreak of World War I.
[2] Acme was sailing for Corpus Christi, Texas, from New York, on 17 March 1942, about 1 nmi (1.9 km; 1.2 mi) west of Diamond Shoal Light, North Carolina, (35°03′N 75°12′W / 35.05°N 75.20°W / 35.05; -75.20) when she was damaged by a torpedo from U-124.
[3] Following the end of World War II, Abarenda fueled the ships supporting the occupation forces in the Far East and continued that duty until 28 February 1946 at which time she was decommissioned in the Philippines.
