Chilean destroyer Alden
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Alden was a Serrano class destroyer of the Chilean Navy which served during World War II.
The Alden was one of six vessels in its class to serve Chile. The class was ordered from the United Kingdom and delivered in 1928 and 1929. Like its sister ships Riquelme and Videla it was also equipped for duties as a minesweeper. The vessels had a displacement of 1090 tons and were armed with three 4.7" and one 3" DP guns as well as six 21" torpedo tubes. The ships could make 35 knots, but their light built proved unsuitable for the harsh southern waters off Chile's coast.
