My father was one of the 34th Infantry Division soldiers on-board the ship and was enroute to Italy. He told me stories of the day of the attack. He always said it was one of the last remaining Italian submarines that fired the torpedo. He recounted that he was near one bulkhead, apparently just one compartment away from the blast and was thrown as far as the opposite door do the next compartment.
