YOG-56 (1945-1972)

YOG-56, a 174-foot self-propelled gasoline barge, was built at Camden, New Jersey, during World War II. She was placed in service in February 1945. At the end of June 1972 YOG-56 was transferred to the Republic of Vietnam and was stricken from the Naval Vessel Register in mid-July. Renamed HQ-475 while in South Vietnamese Navy service, she was captured when North Vietnam conquered its southern neighbor in April 1975. She was reportedly still active in 2001.

This page features the only view we have concerning YOG-56.
