• Source: List of Type T2 tankers

This is a list of names for the approximately 500 Type T2 tankers built for the United States Maritime Commission during World War II. Not included are the tankers of the Samoset/Chiwawa (T3-S-A1) type, which despite the "T3" designation were in fact nearly identical hulls to the original T2s, and smaller than the T2-A and T2-SE series.
The names listed here are believed to be the "as launched" names, as most ships were renamed later in their career. All are the T2-SE-A1 design unless otherwise noted.
