Moses was seriously wounded during naval service - could this be incident?

On 5 September 1918, the cruiser USS Chester sighted an enemy submarine on her starboard bow. In attempting to ram the enemy, Chester passed directly over the U-boat as she dived, damaging her own port paravane. Depth charges were hurled at the submarine's presumed position, but no further contact was made.
