USS Kennebec (AO-36) was originally the SS Corsicana, a T2 tanker that was built by Bethlehem-Sparrows Point Shipyard in Maryland. It was delivered to Socony Vacuum Oil Company on August 8, 1941. It was later purchased by the U.S. Navy and renamed the Kennebec. It was later transferred back and forth between the navy and MarAd until it was eventually sold to Levin Metals Corporation for "non transportation use."
