USS PC-466, later renamed Carmi in 1958, was one of the numerous PC-461 class submarine chasers. She is notable for being one of the ships present at the formal surrender of Japan on 2 September, 1945.

One member of this class, the USS PC-1264, was one of only two ships in the Navy during World War II that had a mostly African-American crew. As part of the Lend-Lease program enacted by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, a total of 46 PC-461 s were lent to allies of the United States.

USS Carmick (DD-493/DMS-33), a Gleaves-class destroyer, was the only ship of the United States Navy to be named for Major Daniel Carmick (1772–1816), an officer in the United States Marine Corps who served during the Quasi-War with France and during the War of 1812.
