USS Nicholson (DD-442)
USS ''Nicholson'' (DD-442), a , was the third ship of the United States Navy to be named for the Nicholson family, which was prominent in the early history of the Navy.
''Nicholson'' was laid down 1 November 1939 by Boston Naval Shipyard; launched 31 May 1940; sponsored by Mrs. S. A. Bathriek, a great-granddaughter of Samuel Nicholson (1743–1811); and commissioned 3 June 1941, Commander J. S. Keating in command.
== Atlantic service ==
After a shakedown cruise in the eastern Atlantic, ''Nicholson'' escorted convoys through the U-boat-infested, storm-tossed North Atlantic first from Boston to Newfoundland and then to Scotland and England until fall 1942. In a brief training period off the Virginia coast, she prepared for the Casablanca invasion, but a turbine casualty prevented her participation in the initial landings. She arrived four days later, 12 November, to assist in the consolidation of the beachhead and to patrol. She took part in the Bizerte campaign and the initial assaults on Salerno, coming under heavy air attack from the Luftwaffe at both Bizerte and Salerno.
