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).
