The Moody was a WWI Clemson-class destroyer commissioned in 1919.  She was very fast at over 34 knots and heavily armed with four four-inch guns, one three-inch gun, and 12 torpedo tubes.  After being used as a training vessel all over the world, she was decommissioned in 1930 in San Diego. <P>Her next and final role was in the movies.  MGM Studios acquired her for the picture "Hell Below," where she played the part of an enemy mine layer destroyed by a Navy submarine.  The Moody's hull was cut in half amidships and temporarily stitched together with steel cable.  Timed explosions and controlled sinking made her a star.  The scene was so dramatic, it was borrowed by the documentary series "Victory at Sea."
