	Commander Moore was born on 12 January, 1910, in Brownwood, Texas. He attended the U.S. Naval Academy and was commissioned an Ensign on 2 June, 1932. He first served in the [[ARIZONA_BB_39_ \| USS ARIZONA BB-39]], and in November, 1934, transferred to New London, Connecticut, for submarine training. After serving five years on various submarines, and two tours ashore, Commander Moore received orders to the [[GRAYBACK_SS_208_ \| USS GRAYBACK SS-208]] as commanding officer, on 29 June, 1943. It was while he was commanding the GRAYBACK that he distinguished himself as a courageous and highly effective submariner. Commander Moore was a pioneer in the development of the American style wolf-pack tactics and the submerged radar approaches that were used so effectively against the Japanese in the later stages of the war. The GRAYBACK was a member of the first American wolf-pack in the Pacific theater that consisted of six submarines. The group sank more than 100,000 tons of Japanese shipping in one month alone in early 1944. During the GRAYBACK's last three war patrols under the command of Commander Moore, the ship was credited with sinking at least nine Japanese ships and inflicting damage to many more. It was on Commander Moore's third patrol with the GRAYBACK that the submarine and its heroic crew were listed as missing in action when they failed to return from patrol on 28 March, 1944.<br/>		Commander Moore was born on 12 January, 1910, in Brownwood, Texas.

<h3>Ship Name and Designation History</h3>
This section lists the names and designations that the ship had during
its lifetime.
The list is in chronological order.

<h3>Naval Covers</h3>
This section lists active links to the pages displaying covers associated with the
ship. There should be a separate set of pages for each incarnation of the ship (ie,
for each entry in the "Ship Name and Designation History" section). Covers should
be presented in chronological order (or as best as can be determined).

Since a ship may have many covers, they may be split among many pages so it doesn't
take forever for the pages to load. Each page link should be accompanied by a date
range for covers on that page.

<h3>Postmarks</h3>
This section lists examples of the postmarks used by the ship. There should be a
separate set of postmarks for each incarnation of the ship (ie, for each entry
in the "Ship Name and Designation History" section). Within each set, the postmarks
should be listed in order of their classification type. If more than one postmark
has the same classification, then they should be further sorted by date of earliest
known usage.

A postmark should not be included unless accompanied by a close-up image and/or an
image of a cover showing that postmark. Date ranges MUST be based ONLY ON COVERS IN
THE MUSEUM and are expected to change as more covers are added.

>>> If you have a better example for any of the postmarks, please feel free to replace the
existing example.
