<HTML>Hi All

UIT24 was a submarine Commandant Cappellini in the Italian
Navy. When Italy fell and surrendered on 8/9/1943, the sub was
at Singapore to pick up a cargo of strategic materials for a return
passage to Europe. She was then taken over by the Japanese Navy,
and subsequently handed over to the German Navy and was then
commissioned into the U-Boat arm on 6/12/43.
