Two ships in the United States Navy have been named USS Thomas for Clarence Crase Thomas:

  • Thomas (DD-182), a Wickes-class destroyer, launched in 1918 and transferred to the Royal Navy as HMS St. Albans in 1940.
  • Thomas (DE-102), a Cannon-class destroyer escort, launched in 1943, and transferred to Taiwan in 1946.

    • Also, the USS Thomas (or S.S. Thomas), a converted cattle ship, transported the Thomasite teachers from San Francisco to the Philippines in 1901.
