A misspelling of Klickitat I presume, Named after a river in Washington State: Commisioned July 1945-decommisioned 1946: Klickitat AOG-64; Her class included several vessels, not all of which were commissioned . Klickitat, a gasoline tanker was decommissioned the following year and sold to Argentina-becoming Punta Loyola. Many were sold to South American counties and China. Coast Guard operated; of short duration; and VERY dangerous!  Many are listed as "fate Unknown"-probably quietly scrapped...Klickitat, according to an Coast Guardsman's obituary, did serve in the European theatre.
