USS Pinnebog (AOG–58) was a Patapsco-class gasoline tanker acquired by the U.S. Navy for the dangerous task of transporting gasoline to warships in the fleet, and to remote Navy stations.
Pinnebog was laid down, 29 December 1944, as a Maritime Commission type (T1-MT-M1) tanker hull, under a Maritime Commission contract, at Cargill, Inc., Savage, Minnesota. She was launched on 12 May 1945 and commissioned Pinnebog (AOG-58), 20 October 1945.
She was then operated by an MSTS civil service crew until September 1957, when she was loaned to the U.S. Air Force.
Pinnebog was struck from the Naval Register (date unknown) and custody was transferred to the Maritime Commission, 15 December 1987. She was scrapped on 18 April 1988.
