ww2dbaseDithmarschen was designed as a support ship, providing fuel, supplies, repair capabilities, and medical care capabilities to ocean-going warships and crews. She was commissioned into the German Navy in Jul 1939, and was undergoing an overhaul when the European War broke out two months later. She supported the battleships Scharnhorst and Gneisenau during the invasion of Norway between Jun and Nov 1940, then supported cruiser Admiral Hipper in the Atlantic Ocean in late 1940, then supported Scharnhorst and Gneisenau in the Atlantic Ocean in early 1941. Between Oct 1941 and Oct 1942, she operated in the Baltic Sea in support of the invasion of the Soviet Union. She returned to Norwegian waters in late 1942 and remained there for the duration of the war. She returned to Bremerhaven, Germany after the end of the war, where she was taken over by the British. In May 1946, she was turned over to the United States. Recommissioned as USS Conecuh, she served with the US Navy as a fleet replenishment tanker from 1953 to 1960.
