Enoree (AO-69), formerly SS Sachem, was built for the Maritime Commission by the Bethlehem Steel Co., Sparrows Point, Maryland. She was acquired by the Navy and commissioned on 23 January 1943, Commander W. S. Campbell in command. From 1 April 1943 to 15 March 1944 she made several transatlantic convoy crossings to ports in Northern Ireland and North Africa as well as trips between Norfolk, Virginia, and Texas ports. On 15 April 1944 Enoree completed a yard overhaul during which she had installed a 160-ton crane. Proceeding to Pearl Harbor on 19 May, she departed thence to begin her important role in fueling and supplying ammunition to the ships which operated against the Marianas, during the summer months. In September she fueled the naval forces involved in the western Caroline Islands offensive.
