AFAIK the only V-Ws to have served in the Med were the RAN units of the famed "Scrap Iron Flotilla", but none of them were credited with ramming a sub AND being damaged by an air attack.
As far as identifying the second photo as an "O" class, the diametre of the stack is much larger in the old photo and the hull noticeably narrower. There is no chance of it being a 4-stacker, the stacks are much too large for that.
Is there any proof of the claimed ramming of an Italian sub by a DD other than Ithuriel (and another by CL Hermione)?
