No.) 1470, and commissioned her as USS Los Angeles on 9 August 1917 at New Orleans, Louisiana, with Lieutenant Commander Alexander Mackenzie in command.

Service history

U.S. Navy service

After commissioning and through the end of 1917, Los Angeles operated along the United States East Coast and United States Gulf Coast and made two cruises with the Atlantic Train Force.

On 9 January 1918, Los Angeles was assigned to duty with the Naval Overseas Transportation Service and, after loading cargo at New York City, departed New York on 15 January 1918 for the British Isles. She reached Scapa Flow in the Orkney Islands on 4 February 1918, discharged her cargo there, and departed on 7 February 1918 for the U.S. East Coast, where she arrived on 27 February 1918.

On 4 March 1918, Los Angeles departed New York for Port Arthur, Texas. Arriving there on 10 March 1918, she loaded fuel oil before departing for Hampton Roads, Virginia, on 14 March 1918. She arrived at Hampton Roads on 20 March 1918, then departed on 21 March 1918 to join a convoy bound for Europe. Between 21 March 1918 and 10 November 1918, Los Angeles made four transatlantic runs from U.S. East Coast ports, carrying fuel oil to Brest in France and to Portsmouth and Devonport in England.

During the latter part of November 1918, Los Angeles transported a cargo of fuel oil from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to Cristóbal in the Panama Canal Zone. After loading crude oil at Tuxpan, Mexico, she returned to New York on 16 December 1918.

Los Angeles was decommissioned at New York on 17 January 1919 and was returned to Union Oil the same day.

Later service

The ship resumed commercial service as S.S. Los Angeles. She was renamed S.S. Toteco in 1941.
