'''USS ''John A. Moore'' (FFG-19)''', eleventh ship of the {{sclass|Oliver Hazard Perry|frigate|4}} of guided-missile frigates, was named for Commander [[John Anderson Moore]] (1910–1944).  Ordered from [[Todd Pacific Shipyards, Los Angeles Division]], [[San Pedro, Los Angeles|San Pedro]], [[California]] on 28 February 1977 as part of the FY77 program, ''John A. Moore'' was laid down on 19 September 1978, launched on 20 October 1979, and commissioned on 14 November 1981.

''John A. Moore'' was the first ship of that name in the US Navy.  The namesake was commanding officer of the [[submarine]] {{USS|Grayback|SS-208}} in 1943 and 1944.  [[John Anderson Moore|Cdr. Moore]] received three awards of the [[Navy Cross (United States)|Navy Cross]] during his command, the last posthumously after ''Grayback'' was sunk in February 1944.
