Read More	John was the youngest of two sons born to James Brown Sr. and Medora (Cresap) Moore. He died during World War II in the South Pacific. John's has a headsonte at Bonaparte Cemetery, but he died at sea. On 17 December 1944 Typhoon Cobra had found the US Fleet, USS Spence DD-512 prepared to refuel and pumped out all of the salt water ballast from her tanks; but rough seas caused the fueling operation to be cancelled. The next day, the weather worsened and the storm turned into a major typhoon. As the ships wallowed in canyon-like troughs of brine, Spence's electrical equipment got wet from great quantities of sea water taken on board. After a 72-degree roll to port, all of the lights went out and the pumps stopped. The rudder jammed; and, after a deep roll to port about 11:00, Spence capsized and sank. Only 24 of her 336 complement survived. One of the 24 survivors was David Moore, an African American who floated at sea for two days and also was responsible for saving the lives of two other men. John H. Moore was a Machinst Mate 2nd class and no doubt in the Boiler room trying to save the Spense. USS Hull and USS Monaghan were also sunk in the typhoon. Spence was struck from the Navy list on 19 January 1945. Contributor: Mike Easter (48737981)
