USS Thorn (DD-647)
USS ''Thorn'' (DD-647), a ''Gleaves''-class destroyer, was the first ship of the United States Navy to be named for Jonathan Thorn.
''Thorn'' was laid down on 15 November 1942 at Kearny, New Jersey, by the Federal Shipbuilding and Drydock Co.; sponsored by Mrs. Beatrice Fox Palmer; launched on 28 February 1943; and commissioned on 1 April 1943 at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, Lieutenant Commander Edward Brumby in command.
== Atlantic service, May 1943 – January 1944 ==
Following shakedown and trials out of Casco Bay, Maine, ''Thorn'' joined Destroyer Squadron 19 (DesRon 19). Between 28 May 1943 and 2 January 1944, the destroyer conducted four round-trip convoy escort mission signs on the New York–Norfolk–Casablanca route — the first trip as part of Task Force 69 (TF69) and the other three as part of TF64. On her last convoy run, she escorted two oilers to Ponta Delgada, in the Azores, in company with ''Stockton'' (DD-646) — the first ships to enter the port under the terms of the new agreement between the Allies and the government of Portugal.
On 3 January 1944, the day after ''Thorn'' arrived back in New York harbor, ''Turner'' (DD-648) blew up and sank in Ambrose Channel, 5,000 yards astern of ''Thorn''. Calling away the ship's motor whaleboat, ''Thorn'' sent: a rescue party to try to recover survivors. Lt. James P. Drake, USNR, and Boatswain's Mate, First Class, E. Wells were awarded Navy and Marine Corps Medals for their bravery in the rescue of three ''Turner'' survivors, and three other men received commendation bars for their part in the operation.
