High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! USS Ulvert M. Moore (DE-442) was a John C. Butler-class destroyer escort acquired by the U.S. Navy during World War II. The primary purpose of the destroyer escort was to escort and protect ships in convoy, in addition to other tasks as assigned, such as patrol or radar picket. Post-war she returned home proudly bearing five battle stars; when she was reactivated for the Korean War, she returned home after that war with three more.
