'''Samuel Nobre Moore''' ([[7 September]] [[1891]] – [[9 August]] [[1942]]) was an officer in the [[United States Navy]] during [[World War II]]. |
|||
Born in [[Washington, D.C.]], Moore entered the [[United States Naval Academy]] in 1909 and was commissioned Ensign in 1913. |
|||
From April 1914 to February 1915, he served on board [[USS Hopkins]] and participated in the occupation of [[Veracruz]]. He served in {{USS|Nicholson|DD-52}} from May 1915 to January 1917, and in {{USS|Michigan|BB-27}} while the United States participated in [[World War I]]. |
|||
During the interwar period, he held numerous naval posts ashore and at sea with the [[Atlantic Fleet|Atlantic]], [[Pacific Fleet|Pacific]], and [[Asiatic Fleet]]s. In command of Destroyer Division 21 from September 1937 into 1939, Moore organized the [[New England]] section of the [[Neutrality Patrol]] in late 1939. He took command of {{USS|Quincy|CA-39}} on 20 May 1942 and died on the night of 8-[[9 August]] [[1942]] when that cruiser was sunk while fighting in the [[Battle of Savo Island]]. |
