NameJohn William Henry Nicholls was also known as Jack, His Every-Day Name.
NameHe was also known as Nicholas.
NoteJohn lived in London at Five Sparricks Row in Horslydown, Southwark, London. His family called him Jack; he was the oldest of four children, three boys and a girl

He was the first Nichols to attend school, which he did at the age of seven in 1892 at the Galley Wall Road, one of the London School Board's earliest schools

And he was a terror. A favorite misdeed was to go into the girl's lavatory, it was a long seat used by six at a time, push them all backward into the open ditch behind then run out; hopefully straight into the arms of a teacher who was able to wield a cane with strength and cunning dexterity

In those days schooling went on until age thirteen, except those children considered by authority to have already achieved the required standard might leave earlier, at eleven. Jack was one of these, leaving school in 1898

The narrative for John was written by his son Terence in the book "Other Times, Other Places"; minor tweaks were added by DJ Shave.

Cassin Young, nicknamed "Ted" because of his admiration for President Teddy Roosevelt, was born in Washington, DC on 6 March 1894; his name was found in a search

In 1912 he was appointed a midshipman at the United States Naval Academy, where he graduated with the Class of 1916. There was probably little expectation among the members of the Class of '16 that "Teddy" Young would become an outstanding naval officer as he was far down the line (173 of 177) from those classmates who were destined to become famous admirals during World War II-Robert B. Carney, Arthur W. Radford, C. Turner Joy, and Lyman K. Swenson-but the author of his brief biographical sketch in the 1916 Lucky Bag, the Academy year book, was prophetic in his assessment: "Teddy isn't brilliant," he wrote, "he's too irresponsible to be considered as one of the more capable men in the Class, but he's got nerve with him, and that alone should pull him through many a situation."

After his graduation on 3 June 1916, Ensign Young reported to the battleship Connecticut for a first three-year tour of sea duty,

He reported to the Submarine School in New London for submarine training. For most of the next ten years he served in, or with, submarines

Sea duty was broken by assignments to shore duty in the Office of Naval Communications in Washington, and to the Naval Academy in Annapolis, where he served as an instructor in Engineering and Aeronautics

From June 1931 to May 1932 Cassin Young served on the battleship New York, first as communication officer and then as first lieutenant

His next assignment was as commanding officer of the old World War I-type destroyer Evans

He was then assigned to Headquarters, Eleventh Naval District, in San Diego

He next saw duty as commander, Submarine Division 7

In July 1939 he reported to the Submarine Base, New London, for duty as Executive Officer

In October 1941 he assumed command of the repair ship Vestal in Pearl Harbor. When the Japanese attacked the U.S. fleet on 7 December 1941, Vestal was moored alongside the battleship Arizona at Ford Island. Commander Young first went to the bridge of the ship, then took charge of a 3-inch anti-aircraft gun

When the USS Arizona was blown up, he was blown overboard from his own ship. Although dazed by the shock, he swam back, climbed on board, got his ship underway, and ran her aground where she could be salvaged. For this feat he was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor

Medal of Honor
THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON
The President of the United States takes pleasure in presenting the Congressional MEDAL OF HONOR to COMMANDER CASSIN YOUNG, U.S. NAVY for service during an attack on the United States Fleet in Pearl Harbor as set forth in the following CITATION:

For distinguished conduct in action, outstanding heroism and utter disregard of this own safety, above and beyond the call of duty, as commanding officer of the U.S.S. Vestal, during the attack on the Fleet in Pearl Harbor, Territory of Hawaii, by enemy forces on 7 December 1941, Commander Young proceeded to the bridge and later took personal command of a 3-inch anti-aircraft gun. When blown overboard by the blast of the forward magazine explosion of the U.S.S. Arizona, to which the U.S.S. Vestal was moored, he swam back to his ship. The entire forward part of the U.S.S. Arizona was a blazing inferno with oil afire on the water between the two ships. As a result of several bomb hits, the U.S.S, Vestal was afire in several places, was settling and taking on a list. Despite severe enemy bombing and strafing at the time, and his shocking experience of having been blown aboard, Commander Young, with extreme coolness and calmness, moved his ship to an anchorage distant from the U.S.S. Arizona, and subsequently beached the U.S.S. Vestal upon determining that such action was required to save his ship

Franklin D. Roosevelt
For his meritorious service during the attack, Commander Young was also promoted to captain, and given command of the heavy cruiser San Francisco. On the night of 12-13 November 1942, during the naval Battle of Guadalcanal, that ship was heavily damaged and Captain Young was killed when a shell from a Japanese battleship exploded on the San Francisco's bridge

On 12 September 1943, Mrs. Eleanor McFadden Young, widow of Cassin Young, sponsored the U.S.S. Cassin Young (DD-793) during commissioning ceremonies at San Pedro, California

The ship was decommissioned in May of 1946 and given a well-deserved rest with the reserve fleet. The Cassin Young was recommissioned on 7 September 1951 at San Pedro and remained active until 29 April 1960 when it was finally inactivated. The National Park Service acquired the Cassin Young in 1978 and the ship is permanently moored at the Charlestown Navy Yard in Boston. The ship is open to the public for viewing

The following information was printed in a brochure provided by the Boston National Historical Park:
Destroyers in the U.S. Navy are generally named for Navy and Marine Corps personnel who have distinguished themselves in the service of their country. USS Cassin Young bears the name of a navy commander awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. Commander Young was in command of the repair ship Vestal which was moored alongside battleship Arizona. When Arizona blew up, he was blown overboard along with many members of his crew. With Vestal taking on water from several hits and set afire from the blazing inferno that had been Arizona, the remaining crew began to abandon ship. Just as the first of the crew began to flee "a figure, like some sea creature, rose from the water and stood athwart the gangway. It was Ted Young… 'Where the hell do you think you're going?' he asked the first sailor. 'We're abandoning ship' the sailor replied. 'Get back aboard,' Young roared, 'You don't abandon ship on me!'" Young got the fires under control, picked up survivors from the Arizona and managed to move Vestal across the harbor where he beached her for later salvage. After the attack on Pearl Harbor, Cassin Young was promoted to captain and given command of the heavy cruiser San Francisco. On the night of 12-13 November, 1942, during the Naval Battle of Guadalcanal, Captain Young died amidst an avalanche of shellfire from three Japanese warships. For his conspicuous gallantry in the fact of the enemy, he was posthumously awarded the Navy Cross. USS Cassin Young (DD 793) was commissioned in 1943, honoring this gallant officer.
