7 of the 12 Apollo Astronauts who walked on the Moon were Naval Aviators, as were the largest percentage of those Astronauts involved in the Apollo program itself. This was due in large part to the ocean-based recoveries of the Command Module by the Navy.
Neil Armstrong (Apollo 11) - Naval Aviator, though he was a NASA Astronaut and not an active duty Navy pilot at the time, unlike the other Astronauts who were active duty Navy when they went to the Moon.
Pete Conrad / Alan Bean (Apollo 12)
Alan Shepard / Edgar Mitchell (Apollo 14)
John W. Young (Apollo 16)
Eugene Cernan (Apollo 17)
Of this list, all but Eugene Cernan (also known as "the Last Man on the Moon") were also Test Pilots. Cernan was a Fighter Pilot.
