HMS Goodson (K480), originally USS George (DE-276), was an Evarts class destroyer escort, assigned to the United Kingdom under the lend-lease.
During the remainder of World War II, she served on escort and patrol duty in the Atlantic and along the English coast.
Damaged 25 June by U-984 commanded by Heinz Sieder, she was returned to the United States Navy on 21 October.
A subsequent vessel named George was launched 14 August 1943 at the Defoe Shipbuilding Company, Bay City, Michigan.
