USS Amick (DE-168) was a Cannon-class destroyer escort built for the United States Navy during World War II.

She was laid down on 30 November 1942 by the Federal Shipbuilding & Drydock Co., Newark, New Jersey; launched on 27 May 1943; sponsored by Mrs. Mary R. Amick, widow of Ens.

In early November, Amick became a member of Task Force 62 and began duty as an escort for transatlantic convoys.

On 1 August 1944, German aircraft attacked the convoy while it was sailing in the Mediterranean off Cape Bengut, Algeria, but failed to damage any ships.

As a rule, she then proceeded to Casco Bay, Maine, or Montauk Point, New York, for training exercises before joining another convoy.

Amick participated in a small engagement known as the Battle of Point Judith on 5 and 6 May 1945, during which she helped sink the German U-boat U-853 off Rhode Island.

Amick touched at Ulithi on the 16th; and, three days later, she reached Peleliu in the Palau Islands and joined Task Unit 94.6.1.

On 23 August, several Navy and Marine Corps officials embarked in Amick for passage to the northern Palau Islands.
