USS Debeque (APc-123) was a U.S. Navy coastal transport vessel commissioned during World War II. Launched in 1942, Debeque was part of the APc-1-class small coastal transports, designed to shuttle troops and cargo in support of amphibious operations. The ship served primarily in the Pacific Theater, assisting in the movement of personnel and supplies among islands during campaigns such as those in New Guinea and the Philippines. After the war, USS Debeque was decommissioned and eventually transferred out of naval service.
