<HTML>Hi all

"I admit, this is a very tough puzzle. This is a view of the Italian dockyard at La Spezia, circa 1943. The ship in the background is the Italian cruiser Bolzano. She was torpedoed in 1942, and the resulting fire has mangled the superstructure, rendering her nearly unrecognizable. No doubt dockyard demolition of damaged structures has contributed to her altered appearance. Repair plans came to nothing, and the cruiser's hulk fell into German hands when Italy went over to the Allied side. She was later sunk by Italian 'chariots'.
The submarine in the drydock is U-73, a rare Type VIIB boat. This is the submarine which sank HMS Eagle 11 August 1942; the sub was herself sunk late in 1943. The escort-type vessel at left is believed to be an ex-French La Flore class vessel."

Peter you´ve got a near miss.
