High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Alpha -- a screw tug built at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 1863 as Fred Wheeler -- was one of six similar vessels purchased by the Union Navy at Philadelphia on 3 June 1864 to support its warships in widely varied ways and to help protect them and Army transports against surprise attacks by Confederate rams, torpedo boats, or other novel craft. Such raids had been a cause of great concern since the foray of the CSS Virginia into Hampton Roads, Virginia, on 8 March 1862 and the threat they posed had been underscored more recently by the Southern submarine H. L. Hunley's sinking of the Federal Navy's screw sloop of war Housatonic and the ironclad ram CSS Albermarle's destruction of the Southfield.
