USS Pitkin (AK-204) was an Alamosa-class cargo ship that was constructed for the US Navy during the closing period of World War II.

By the time she was scheduled for commissioning, the war's end caused her to be declared “excess to needs” and she was returned to the US Government and struck by the Navy.

Pitkin was laid down under US Maritime Commission (MARCOM) contract, MC hull 2158, by Globe Shipbuilding Co., Superior, Wisconsin.

However, because of the Allied victory in the Pacific Ocean theatre of operations, her commissioning was cancelled.

[2] Coastal Competitor was used by several shipping companies from 1945 to 1948, when she was placed in the reserve fleet.
