T-1 tankers were small product carriers, designed to carry gasoline. Almost all of them went to either the United States Navy, as AOGs, or to Britain, for service in a similar role. Many of those under construction at the end of the war were sold immediately.

AOG-33 was launched on November 19th 1944. She was delivered to the United States Navy on December 18th, 1944, where she was allocated to the Asiatic-Pacific Theater. In 1946, the vessel was decommissioned at San Pedro, California, and struck from the Naval Register on November 7th, 1946.
