The ''Mission Buenaventura''-class was a series of twenty-seven T2 tankers built during [[World War II]] by Marinship of Sausalito, [[California]] under contract to the United States Maritime Commission for use by the [[United States Navy]] as fleet [[oiler]]s. Two additional vessels were converted to distilling ships in 1944, after their keels were laid. All ships in the class were named after [[Spain|Spanish]] colonial settlements located in the present-day state of California save for USNS ''Mission Loreto'' which was named for a settlement in [[Baja California Sur]], [[Mexico]].
