USS ''Samuel N. Moore'' (DD-747), an ''Allen M. Sumner''-class destroyer, is the only ship of the United States Navy to be named for Samuel N. Moore. He took command of ''Quincy'' (CA-39) on 20 May 1942 and died on the night of 9 August 1942 when that cruiser was sunk while fighting in the Battle of Savo Island.
''Samuel N. Moore'' (DD-747) was laid down on 30 September 1943 by the Bethlehem Steel Company Shipbuilding Yard, Staten Island, New York; launched on 23 February 1944; sponsored by Mrs. Samuel N. Moore; and commissioned on 24 June 1944, Commander Horatio A. Lincoln in command.

Following shakedown off Bermuda, the new destroyer steamed, via the Panama Canal and Pearl Harbor, to the Pacific war zone, arriving at Ulithi on 3 November 1944. There she joined the Fast Carrier Task Force and defended Vice Admiral Marc Mitscher's flattops from enemy aircraft and submarines. The carriers that she guarded launched numerous air strikes against Japanese positions in the Philippines, the Ryukyus, Formosa, the Pescadores, Indochina, China, and the Japanese home islands. She was damaged by a typhoon on 5 June 1945. In an attack on the night of 22 and 23 July, she launched torpedoes at enemy shipping off the east entrance to Sagami Wan, Japan. She rescued one aviator on 10 June and two more on 18 July.
After Japan capitulated, ''Samuel N. Moore'' aided occupation forces, visiting Shanghai and Tsingtao, China, and Pusan, Korea. From 1947 into 1950, she operated off the west coast. Departing San Diego on 1 May 1950, she steamed to the western Pacific.
