Pacific Tankers, Inc. of San Francisco, California, was founded in 1943 as a division of Joshua Hendy Corporation to operate fleet oilers for the United States Navy to support World War II efforts. Pacific Tankers, Inc. operated Mission Buenaventura-class oiler, a T2 tanker (T2-SE-A2). Each Pacific Tankers, Inc. tanker had a merchant crew of about 9 officers and 39 men. Pacific Tankers Inc. was a major tanker operator for the war with a fleet of over 60 tankers. Pacific Tankers, Inc. continued operations after the war.[1][2][3]

Joshua Hendy Corporation was founded in the 1850s as an engineering and mining company. Joshua Hendy Corporation engineering was used in the construction of the Panama Canal form 1904 to 1914.[4] In World War II Joshua Hendy Corporation built twelve triple expansion marine steam engines for Liberty ships.[5][6]

The Federal Bureau of Investigation investigated the sales of a Pacific Tankers, Inc. ship to Aristotle Onassis in 1951 and 1952.[7]
