USS Millicoma (AO-73) was a United States Navy fleet oiler which served in the Pacific Theatre during World War II, winning eight battle stars for her dangerous work.

Millicoma was laid down as King’s Mountain under United States Maritime Commission contract by Sun Shipbuilding & Drydock Co., Chester, Pennsylvania, on 4 August 1942; subsequently renamed USS Conestoga; launched as USS Millicoma on 21 January 1943; sponsored by Mrs. M. G. Hogan; acquired by the U.S. Navy on 30 January 1943; converted for Navy use by the Maryland Drydock Company of Baltimore, Maryland, and commissioned at Baltimore on 5 March 1943.

For more than two years Millicoma provided valuable at-sea logistics support as the might of American seapower moved westward across the Pacific Ocean to crush the warring Japanese Empire.

Departing Norfolk, Virginia, on 20 April 1943, Millicoma steamed via the Dutch West Indies and the Panama Canal to carry a cargo of fuel oil and gasoline to the Fiji Islands.

Thence, after completing a round trip to Hawaii and back, she departed San Pedro on 13 January 1944 to begin supporting the Navy's series of island‑hopping campaigns.

She made repairs at Seeadler Harbor alongside the newly arrived USS Jason (AR-8) and sailed for Terminal Island, California 9 days later.

She sortied 3 January 1945 and during the next three weeks cruised the replenishment areas in the western Pacific and refueled the fast carriers during far-reaching operations against Japanese installations on Luzon, Formosa, China, Indochina, and the Ryukyus.

Millicoma served out of Ulithi during the remainder of World War II as she continued a busy pace of fleet replenishment operations which carried her to the heart of the Japanese Empire.

Millicoma, manned by a civilian crew, operated under MSTS on a contract charter basis to carry liquid cargoes along the coasts of the United States and to American bases overseas.
