Legendary WWII submarine commander, retired Capt. Edward L. "Ned" Beach Jr., died Dec. 1 at his Washington, D.C. home. In addition to his superb naval career, he was an accomplished author and wrote, among many other works, the globally acclaimed piece of literature, "Run Silent, Run Deep" in 1955. The novel was made into a popular movie starring Clark Gable and Burt Lancaster. In an interview with ?All Hands Magazine,? a U.S. Navy internal information periodical, he didn't like the movie because it wasn?t ?? true to the Navy that I saw and tried to describe." Beach is survived by his wife Ingrid, three children, and four grandchildren. U.S. Navy Photo.
