He had been awarded three Navy Crosses[1] and a Purple Heart Medal before his death. The U.S. Navy frigate USS John A. Moore (FFG-19) is named in his honor.[2] Moore had boxed and played soccer at the United States Naval Academy. He served on R and S class submarines, before assuming command of the submarine USS Grayback (SS-208) on its last three patrols during 1943-1944. Under the overall command of innovator Charles "Swede" Momsen, Grayback, USS Cero (SS-225) and USS Plunger (SS-179) launched the U.S. Navy's first attack against enemy shipping using "wolfpack" tactics.[3] Moore was credited with multiple events of "extraordinary heroism" in repeated forays against Japanese vessels in the East China Sea before being killed during the last of the Graybacks patrols.[1][4] References1. ^1 John Anderson Moore at Military Times Hall of Valor (accessed 2012-02-03). 2. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.combatindex.com/hardware/detail/sea/ffg19_data.html |title=FFG 19: USS John A.
