To be honest I have doubts whether it is part of a torpedo and I also have doubts that the ship in dry dock is the Cameronia. You are confirming my suspicions regarding
former.... unfortunately.
Thanks anyway

Sorry all I have is now what you have - a photo of the part and a label of the part saying detonator ring. What I would like to know is whether the labelled photo is in fact part of a torpedo and if so, where it might be located on the torpedo.

Hello there,
Is there such a part of a German torpedo called a detonator ring ? I have a photo of an alleged piece of a German torpedo with the label 'Detonator ring'.

I don't know how to upload images of the part I have I am afraid.
To describe the part - it

Hello everyone
I am specifically trying to find a researcher who specialises in the subject of the Italian submarine fleet during WW2.
I have two thoughts on how to progress, first, find out whether there is an Italian equivalent of this website and leave a post there and second ask people here on the off chance that they know of an Italian I can contact ????
Yours hopefully

Please confirm receipt of the three private messages which I have sent - nothing is coming up on my "Sent" box in respect of private messages so I do not know if I am doing something wrong or not.
Apologies if nothing has been received, I will keep trying !

Hi Everyone,
I realise that this is a long shot, but can anyone provide me with the details of an Italian military researcher who has a good command of English, or at least a website where I can obtain information about Italian military researchers (even if it is in Italian) ?
Many thanks in anticipation

Hi Everyone,
Does anyone know whether the KTB equivalents of Italian submarines for the Second World War exist ?
If they do, where are they held and are we allowed access to copies of them in a similar way to the German KTBs ?
