USS Geronimo (ATA-207) an auxiliary ocean tug, was built by the Gulfport Boiler and Welding Works of Port Arthur, Texas, and originally designated ATR-134.
ATA-207 completed shakedown training off Galveston, Texas, and then reported to Tampa, Florida, to pick up a barracks ship to be towed to the Pacific.
She carried sections of a dock to Eniwetok, Marshall Islands, in October, and served as a general harbor and towing tug at Nouméa, New Caledonia.
On her way back to California, the ship discovered disabled USAT Peter M. Anderson and brought her safely to San Pedro.
The tug returned to Naval custody and was transferred to the Republic of China (Taiwan) in 1968 under the Security Assistance Program.
