Mission San Gabriel Arcángel in 1832. In the foreground Native Americans (who frequently camped near trading centers such as military forts and missions) live in brush huts, with the Mission in the middle ground, and the San Gabriel Mountains as a backdrop. The work is believed to be the earliest known oil landscape of Southern California.(PD) Photo: Robert C. Post

USNS Mission San Gabriel (T-AO-124) was the fourteenth of twenty-seven Mission Buenaventura-class fleet oilers built during World War II for service in the United States Navy. Scrapped in 1975, she was the only U.S. Naval vessel to have borne the name.[2]
