USS Willamette (AO-180) was a Cimarron-class fleet replenishment oiler commissioned by the United States Navy in 1981. Designed to provide underway replenishment of fuel and supplies to naval vessels, she played a crucial support role in operations across the Pacific and Indian Oceans. Willamette participated in numerous exercises and deployments, including support for U.S. operations during the Gulf War. After over two decades of service, she was decommissioned in 1999 and later scrapped.
