The second ship to be named Yacona by the Navy, AOG-45 was laid down under a Maritime Commission contract (MC hull 2071) on 23 November 1944 at Bayonne, New Jersey, by the East Coast Shipyard, Inc.; launched on 14 January 1945; sponsored by Mrs. Amy Gilhardt; and commissioned on 7 February 1945.

A three-day port visit to Havana, Cuba, from 31 July to 3 August, punctuated her duty in Florida's coastal waters.

Struck from the Navy list on 8 January 1946, the gasoline tanker was delivered to the War Shipping Administration, Maritime Commission, on 25 July 1946.

Acquired by the Gulf Oil Co., of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 1947, Yacona served this petroleum concern until late in 1976, when she was purchased by the Sociedad Campania de Navegacion Dormar, Ltd. She served under the Colombian flag, homeported at Isla de San Andrés, Colombia, carrying oil to vessels in Colombia's lakes, bays, and sounds.
