USNS Yukon (T-AO-202)

USNS Yukon (T-AO-202) is a Henry J. Kaiser-class underway replenishment oiler operated by the Military Sealift Command (MSC) of the United States Navy. The Henry J. Kaiser-class ships are designed to transfer fuel, lubricating oil, potable water, and limited amounts of dry cargo to U.S. Navy and allied ships at sea. Yukon is the sixteenth ship of her class.

The ship's primary mission is to provide underway replenishment, enabling naval vessels to remain at sea for extended periods. This capability significantly enhances the operational reach and endurance of the U.S. Navy fleet. Yukon is crewed by a civilian mariner complement, contracted through the MSC, rather than being manned by active duty naval personnel. These civilian mariners are responsible for the operation and maintenance of the ship.

Specific details regarding Yukon's operational history, deployment schedules, and specific engagements are generally considered unclassified but may not be publicly available due to security concerns or operational sensitivities. Her homeport and current operational status are typically subject to change based on Navy requirements.
