Alden is the author of American Steel Navy: A Photographic History of the U.S. Navy from the Introduction of the Steel Hull in 1883 to the Cruise of the Great White Fleet; The Fleet Submarine in the United States Navy: A Design and Construction History; Salvage Man: Edward Ellsberg and the U.S. Navy; Flush Decks and Four Pipes; and, U.S. Submarine Attacks During World War II: Including Allied Submarine Attacks in the Pacific Theater. This unique reference corrects many longstanding errors in the World War II record of U.S. submarine attacks. It also provides information on hundreds of previously ignored attacks and identifies--often for the first time--specific targets and their attackers.
