1	Ragusa, Innocenzo	2 Jan 1942	2155	Messina	6 Jan 1942	0935	Messina	410	Patrolled southeast of Cape Passero, on aline 80 miles from Malta, between 36°00'N, 36°40'N, and between 15°40'E and 16°20'E, on a patrol line with submarines Onice, Delfino and Alagi. Left patrol on 5th January.
		3 Jan 1942	1005	(0) Off Murro di Porco.	At 0838 hours, the hydrophones picked up noises. At 1005 hours, a large vessel was sighted at a distance of 8,000 metres, steering 190°. At 1030 hours, it proved to be an Italian hospital ship of the AQUILEIA class and the attack was broken off.
		5 Jan 1942	0150 0155-0157 (e)	36° 00'N, 15° 40'E	MARICOSOM had alerted the submarines Platino, Alagi, Manara and Delfino of the presence of an enemy submarine, reported at 0845 hours on 4th January, in Grid 3998/5 (3500' N, 15°30' E), steering 160°, 10 knots. At 0150 hours, Platino sighted a submarine at a distance of 4,000 metres. She attempted a stern shot, but the target submerged and Platino did the same but could not regain contact. This was ORP Sokol (Kpt. mar. Boris Karnicki). The Polish submarine had sighted the Italian submarine but mistook her for HMS Unbeaten.
2	Ragusa, Innocenzo	21 Jan 1942	1415	Messina	25 Jan 1942	1015	Augusta	502	Sailed with the submarine Corallo and patrolled southeast of Malta, between 35°00'N and 35°20'N, and between 16°00'E and 16°20'E. Uneventful.
		23 Jan 1942	0254		At 0254 hours, a derelict mine was sighted. Engines were stopped with the intention to destroy it by machine-gun fire, but the mine was lost from view in the low visibility.
3	Ragusa, Innocenzo	26 Jan 1942	0109	Augusta	29 Jan 1942	0845	Augusta	427	Patrolled southeast of Malta, between 35°00'N and 35°20'N, and between 15°20'E and 15°40'E. Heard only hydrophone effects.
4	Ragusa, Innocenzo	10 Feb 1942	1830	Augusta	26 Feb 1942	1045	Augusta	1547	Patrolled north of Cyrenaica, 8 miles from 34°10'N, 20°40'E on the meridian. On the evening of 15th February, was ordered to shift position 098° - 148 miles to form a patrol line with Menotti to intercept an enemy convoy. Nothing was sighted.
		14 Feb 1942	0630	33° 35'N, 20° 41'E	At 0630 hours, a derelict mine was sighted and 50 rounds of 13.2mm ammunition were expended but without sinking it.
		14 Feb 1942	1100		At 1100 hours, information was received of the passage of a convoy coming from the west. At 1241 hours, Platino heard H.E., believed to be from this convoy and, at 1447 hours, heard what appeared to be a torpedo hit but sighted nothing.
		16 Feb 1942	0210		At 0210 hours, the silhouette of a submarine was sighted at a distance of 2,000 metres. It was probably Italian and part of the barrage line.
	Ragusa, Innocenzo	13 Mar 1942	1500	Augusta	13 Mar 1942	1800	Augusta	18	Exercises escorted by the auxiliary Nuovo Avvenire.
5	Ragusa, Innocenzo	15 Mar 1942	1910	Augusta	30 Mar 1942	1010	Augusta	1365	Patrolled north of Cyrenaica between 33°55'N and 34°05'N, and between 22°50'E and 23°50'E. Patrol marred by numerous engine defects. Carried S.I.C. torpedoes (magnetic pistols). Sighted only French ships.
		17 Mar 1942	1630 1630 (e)	34° 30'N, 21° 10'E	At 1630 hours, a Blenheim bomber attacked the submarine from the stern and from the sun. It dropped three small bombs (estimated at 50-kg) from a height of 500-600 metres, which fell 100 metres on the starboard side. The aircraft circled and attempted a new stern attack, but was met by the fire from the twin Breda machine-guns aft and desisted from the action. It circled again and attempted a new attack from the sun. The submarine opened fire at a range of 1,000 metres with the Breda machine-guns aft and at 500 metres with the forward machine gun. The aircraft flew away trailing smoke and T.V. Innocenzo Ragusa believed the aircraft had perhaps failed to reach its base. This was Blenheim 'C' of 203 Squadron, piloted by Flight Lieutenant Green. The submarine was sighted 8 miles ahead, steering 116° at 8-9 knots. The aircraft climbed to 1,200 feet and dropped four 250lb depth charges. Green claimed that one bomb missed 5 yards from the starboard bow and another 10 yards on port bow. The aircraft strafed the submarine and one crew member was hit and fell backwards in the sea (no casualties were reported by the submarine). The aircraft was hit by antiaircraft rounds and suffered only minor damages, the rear-gunner was slightly wounded by splinters.
		17 Mar 1942	1750	34° 28'N, 21° 19'E	At 1750 hours, nine Blenheim bombers were sighted at a distance of 4,000 metres and attacked Platino. Three turned toward the submarine who opened fire with the Breda twin mount aft, when the range had closed to 2,000 metres The three bombers opened fire with their machine-guns, but one of the aircraft, perhaps the squadron leader, appeared to have been hit and veered away. The other two desisted of the attack and the submarine crash-dived. Five bombs exploded over her, but Platino escaped by going down to 40 metres. These were perhaps Beauforts of 39 Squadron.
		21 Mar 1942	1520	34° 00'N, 23° 21'E	At 1520 hours, two destroyers and a steamer were sighted, steering 300°, 14 knots. This was expanded to a light cruiser of the DIDO class, four destroyers, a steamer and two motorships and the course was corrected to 320°. This was indeed C.S.15 (HMS Dido, etc.) with convoy MW.10 (HMS Breconshire, Clan Campbell, Talabot, Pampas, HMS Carlisle and five destroyers; these were the escort destroyers HMS Avon Vale, HMS Beaufort, HMS Dulverton, HMS Hurworth and HMS Southwold.). The submarine took an intercepting course but lost contact at 1625 hours,
		23 Mar 1942	1605	33° 38'N, 23° 17'E	At 1605 hours, several bomb explosions were heard indicating a convoy proceeding eastward, under air attack. An explosion believed to be a torpedo hit, had been heard earlier at 1440 hours (this was one of the torpedoes fired by Onice). The submarine heard also H.E. and depth-charges.
		23 Mar 1942	1808	33° 38'N, 23° 17'E (0) Approximately.	At 1808 hours, upon surfacing, the submarine observed two light cruisers of the DIDO class at a distance of 15,000 metres, steering 085°. These were probably HMS Dido and HMS Penelope. The submarine attempted to close but without success.
		27 Mar 1942	0725	33° 27'N, 23° 55'E	At 0725 hours, a vessel was sighted at a distance of 13 miles, apparently steering toward Tobruk. It was too far to be intercepted.

		20 Jul 1942	0807		At 0807 hours, the submarine was surprised by an aircraft and had no time to submerge. Three or four rounds were fired with the machine-gun before it was recognised to be German Junker 88 bomber and fire was checked.
9	Rigoli, Roberto	18 Aug 1942	0040	La Maddalena	19 Aug 1942	0445	La Maddalena	300	Sailed for a patrol in area between 37°20' N and 37°50'N, and between 09°20'E and 10°20'E, to intercept an enemy convoy north of Tunisia [PEDESTAL], but was recalled before reaching it.

		8 Nov 1942	0816		At 0816 hours, a German aircraft was sighted and exchanged recognition signals.
		8 Nov 1942	1000		At 1000 hours, an aircraft was seen and the submarine dived.
		8 Nov 1942	1220		At 1220 hours, the Italian submarine Argo was encountered and exchanged recognition signals. At 2104 hours, Platino was ordered to patrol off Cape Cavallo.
		9 Nov 1942	0543		At 0543 hours, a submarine was sighted following a parallel course. It was believed to be Italian.
		9 Nov 1942	1815	37° 20'N, 4° 00'E	At 1815 hours, firing and explosions could be observed in the distance. Platino tried to close but sighted nothing.
		10 Nov 1942	0805	38° 15'N, 4° 30'E	At 0805 hours, a destroyer was sighted at 6,000 metres. Platino closed to attack but could not get to a distance of less than 4,000 meters.
		11 Nov 1942	2135		At 2135 hours, the submarine Mocenigo was encountered and exchanged recognition signals.
		12 Nov 1942	0228	36° 47'N, 5° 11'E	At 0030 hours, a light was sighted at a distance. It was believed to be a vessel afire in the Bay of Bougie, At 0228 hours, against the light, a destroyer and four corvettes were sighted steering 110°. Shortly after, two more corvettes were also observed west of Cape Carbon. A corvette used a searchlight, but did not notice the submarine. At 0259 hours, an aircraft flew over and dropped five flares. Platino dived.
		12 Nov 1942	0359	36° 46'N, 5° 10'E	At 0359 hours, Platino had just surfaced, when a corvette was sighted at a distance of 400 metres. The submarine crash-dived to a depth of 120 metres but was not detected.
		12 Nov 1942	0500	36° 46'N, 5° 10'E (0) Approximately.	At 0500 hours, Platino was proceeding on the surface away from Bougie with the intention to return the following night, when a corvette was sighted at a range of 700 metres. A torpedo tube was made ready, but the corvette did not notice the submarine.
		13 Nov 1942	0131	36° 46'N, 5° 07'E	At 0131 hours, a corvette was sighted on the starboard bow. Platino was on the surface and turned toward her, closing to 300 metres but was not in a favourable angle. Absolute silence was maintained and the corvette did not discover the submarine. Platino dived at 0142 hours and bottomed at 30 metres. At 0150 hours, the submarine surfaced and watched the corvette disappear. The vessel on fire sighted earlier impeded the visibility. At 0233 hours, a corvette was sighted and appeared to be steering toward the submarine but continued on her way without incident.
		13 Nov 1942	0326	36° 43'N, 5° 06'E	At 0235 hours, a dark shape was sighted and identified as a large merchant vessel outlined against Cape Carbon and a corvette was observed to be leaving the Bay of Bougie. At 0314 hours, a destroyer was sighted and there was some movements in the corvettes patrolling outside the bay. At 0326 hours, four torpedoes (533mm) were fired from the bow tubes at a range of 1,000 metres aimed at the large merchant vessel. The depth was only 17 metres and the torpedoes were set for depths of 5 and 7 metres. The tracks of two torpedoes was observed to stop after 250 metres, leading T.V. Roberto Rigoli to believe they had been embedded in the mud. The other two were observed to hit the vessel amidships in a formidable explosion. At 0345 hours, Platino dived and proceeded to leave the area. At 1401 hours, she reported her action in a signal. At 1652 hours, an order was received from MARICOSOM to return to base. Unfortunately, this attack was not confirmed. Some Italian sources have claimed that the submarine sank the troop transport Narkunda (16,632 GRT, built 1920). This vessel was hit by two bombs and sunk as she was leaving from Bougie for Algiers at 1720 hours on 14th November, 31 killed, 211 survivors were picked up by the minesweeper HMS Cadmus.
		13 Nov 1942	1744		At 1744 hours, a submarine was sighted apparently firing her four machine-guns and deck gun at an aircraft. Platino dived immediately.

		29 Jan 1943	0350		At 0350 hours, a submarine was sighted at a distance of 4,000 metres on a southeasterly course. Platino had the moon behind her and elected to dive.
		30 Jan 1943	0017 0018 (e)	36° 56'N, 5° 40'E	At 2348 hours on 29th January, the lookout aft spotted a dark shape emerging from the mist on the starboard beam astern. The first reaction of T.V. Vittorio Patrelli Campagnano was to turn away as only his stern tubes were ready. They now appeared as small vessels and by midnight, the targets appeared to be corvettes and ten minutes later the forward tubes were readied to fire. At 0017 hours on 30th January, four torpedoes (533mm, G7e type) were fired from the bow tubes at a range of 1,000 metres, at the corvettes. After 54 seconds (giving a running range of 750 metres) a hit was observed aft of the first corvette and 14 seconds later (run of 950 metres) two torpedoes hit the second corvette and she blew up in a tremendous explosion. After another 17 seconds, a third corvette appeared to have been hit giving a range of 1,200 metres. Platino turned to fire her stern torpedoes. Only one corvette was hit, this was HMS Samphire (K 128, 925 tons) and she was sunk by a single torpedo hit. A total of two officers and thirty-one ratings were picked up, some by the escort destroyer HMS Zetland. Three officers and forty-two ratings killed or missing. At 0023 hours, two stern torpedoes (533mm, S.I.C. type) were fired at a range of 2,000 metres aimed at an 8,000-ton freighter and one hit after 85 seconds (giving a rum of 1,900 metres) the vessel which blew up.

12	Patrelli Campagnano, Vittorio	6 Feb 1943	1343	Cagliari	9 Feb 1943	0845	Cagliari	457	Patrolled north of Djidjelli, Algeria, between 37°20'N and the Algerian coast, and between 05°40'E and 06°00'E, on a patrol line with Gorgo and Acciaio.
		7 Feb 1943	2212 2200 (e)	37° 16'N, 6° 26'E	At 2147 hours, four vessels were sighted approaching at a distance of 5,000 metres. Shortly after, they could be made out as two large merchantmen escorted by two vessels making only about 6 knots. Platino closed at reduced speed as the phosphorescence of the sea could betray her presence. At 2212 hours, four torpedoes were fired from the bow tubes (533mm, G7e type) at a range of 2,500 metres, aimed at the larger vessel described as a 10,000-ton freighter. Three minutes later, a hit was observed (giving a running range of 2,520 metres) and the vessel disappeared in a cloud of smoke. The target was the British armed trawler HMT Tervani (409 tons) and she was hit and sunk. Tervani was towing the French water tanker Mory Mazout II (762 GRT, built 1908), escorted by the armed trawlers HMT Achroite (FY.914) and HMT Arnold Bennett (FY.1939). There were only two survivors. The two trawlers chased the submarine and left Mory Mazout II unattended. She was found derelict by the destroyer HMS Bicester escorting convoy M.K.S.8 and she detached the corvette HMCS Kitchener to stand by. Eventually the water tanker was towed to Philippeville by the tug HMS Jaunty.
		7 Feb 1943	2347 2347A (e)	37° 08'N, 6° 05'E	At 2315 hours, Platino was circling on the surface to renew the attack on the Mory Mazout II convoy, when a new convoy was observed to arrive at a distance of 6,000 metres. Initially, it was thought to consist of three large merchant ships escorted by four destroyers but was later assessed to be three large and two small merchant ships escorted by two destroyers. At 2347 hours, two stern torpedoes (533mm, S.I.C. type) were fired at a range of 1,800 metres aimed at a 15,000-ton freighter. They were observed to miss closely ahead a destroyer and the merchant vessel suddenly turned to port and the torpedoes missed. The target was Empire Dace (716 GRT, built 1942) of the REDRUTH convoy in company with two LSTs Mitsoa and Bachaquero and two merchant vessels bound from Philippeville to Oran, steering 250°, 11 knots, escorted by the minesweepers HMS Rothesay (s.o.), HMS Felixstowe (s.o. 13th Minesweeper Flotilla), HMS Polruan and HMS Brixham. Felixstowe reported a torpedo missed her by only 3-5 yards and dropped four depth-charges but without observing any result.

		18 Feb 1943	0555	37° 22'N, 5° 04'E	At 0440 hours and again at 0505 hours, firing was sighted straight ahead in the distance and was at first believed to the submarine Asteria under air attack (she had actually been sunk the previous day). By this time, it appeared that it was also a convoy under attack. At 0543 hours, as Platino closed on the surface, shadows were sighted at a distance of 4,000 metres. The first one was identified as a destroyer leading the convoy, steering 090°. At 0555 hours, four torpedoes were fired from the bow tubes (533mm, G7e type) at a distance of 700 metres aimed at the destroyer. The destroyer appeared to turn toward the submarine, but this only part of her zigzagging pattern. A minute later, Platino dived. At 0559 hours, an explosion was heard giving a range of 3,600 metres. It was obvious that the destroyer had been missed but T.V. Patrelli Campagnano thought that he may have hit a vessel behind it.
