USS Flambeau (IX-192), a tanker designated an unclassified miscellaneous vessel, was the third ship of the United States Navy to be named for a flaming torch. Her keel was laid down in 1919 by Sun Shipbuilding and Drydock Company, in Chester, Pennsylvania, as S. B. Hunt. She was acquired by the Navy 8 January 1945 at Pearl Harbor, and commissioned the same day with Lieutenant R. S. Green, USNR, in command. Flambeau was converted for use as an oil storage ship in which capacity she served at Saipan until July, and then at Iwo Jima. She sailed from Pearl Harbor 30 December for Norfolk, Virginia, where she was decommissioned on 6 April 1946, and returned to the War Shipping Administration.
