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.
