Famous WW2 Quote
"No bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. You win the war by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country!"George Patton, 31 May 1944

Left-to-right: Navy Commander Lewis Corman, Navy Commander J.M. Kiernan, Mr. Edward B. Tryon, Mrs. Florence Tryon (ship sponsor and great-great-granddaughter of ship’s namesake Samuel Nicholas), Navy Lieutenant Commander W. D. Brown, and Mr. A.M. Main, vice president of Bath Iron Works. Sadly, Mrs. Tryon’s striking red hair does not show well in the black & white photography of the time. Mrs. Tryon would also sponsor the third Navy ship to be named after Samuel Nicholas in 1984, USS Nicholas (FFG-47).
