Neat cigarette lighter. The USS Samuel N Moore, DD-747, was commissioned on 24 June 1944 and de-commissioned on 24 October 1969. She was then sold to Taiwan and served in the Taiwanese navy until she was de-commissioned again on 1 Jan 1993. More history and a picture of her can be found at:

The destroyer had a long life, quite a history to her.
