| 10 Nov 1942 | 1230 1221 (e) | 37° 06'N, 15° 50'E | At 1230 hours, a torpedo track was sighted and missed Wolframio by 50 metres on the starboard side. The Italian submarine fired three rounds in the presumed direction of the enemy submarine for intimidation purposes. The attack was made by the British submarine HMS Una (Lieutenant C.P. Norman). The Italian submarine had been sighted at 1215 hours, steering 231° at 9 knots. Due to overstrain and fatigue, Norman had forgotten to order the reload of the torpedo tubes after an attack on the light cruiser Emanuele Filiberto Duca D'Aosta earlier in the day. A single torpedo was reloaded under 8 minutes and fired at 1221 hours at a range of 600-800 yards. It was believed to have missed the target by only 10-15 feet. | |||||||

| 14 Nov 1942 | 1010 | (0) Off Bone. | At 1010 hours, Wolframio was at periscope depth reconnoitering the bay of Bone when a large aircraft was sighted approaching. The submarine went down to 50 metres. | |||||||
| 14 Nov 1942 | 1615 | (0) Off Bone. | At 1615 hours, a submarine, believed to be Italian, was observed proceeding on the surface on a southerly course and later submerged. Hydrophone effect was heard but nothing could observed through the periscope but depth charges explosions were heard close. Wolframio was later ordered to go to the Bay of Djidjelli, but could not comply as it was 110 miles away and the submarine had not had an opportunity to fully.charge her batteries Finally, at 1330 hours on the 15th, she was ordered to check the Bay of Bougie but sighted nothing. | |||||||
| 20 Nov 1942 | 0645 | (0) Near Point C of Cagliari. | At 0645 hours, the submarine Giada was encountered and exchanged recognition signals. | |||||||
| Wolframio (Volframio) (VO) | 28 Nov 1942 | 0850 | Cagliari | 28 Nov 1942 | 1250 | Cagliari | 35,1 | Exercises. | ||

| 5 Dec 1942 | 1330 | At 1330 hours, an aircraft was seen and the submarine dived to 30 metres. | ||||||||
| 6 Dec 1942 | 0805 | At 0805 hours, an aircraft was seen and the submarine dived to 30 metres. | ||||||||
| 7 Dec 1942 | 2316 | The submarine was informed about a German aircraft shot down and at 2316 hours arrived in the presumed area and began searching. At 0417 hours on the 8th, nothing could be found and Wolframio returned to her patrol area. | ||||||||
| 8 Dec 1942 | 0658 | 37° 21'N, 8° 24'E | At 0632 hours, a vessel was detected with the hydrophones. At 0658 hours, Wolframio came to periscope depth and observed an enemy destroyer. The forward tubes were not yet ready to fire, when the destroyer passed some 500 metres from the submarine. At 0730 hours, the target disappeared over the horizon. | |||||||
| 10 Dec 1942 | 2320 | At 2320 hours, an aircraft dropped three flares over the submarine. Wolframio dived. | ||||||||
| 11 Dec 1942 | 0527 | 37° 31'N, 6° 56'E | At 0527 hours, a destroyer was sighted in poor visibility. It moved away and Woframio submerged at 0551 hours. The destroyer returned at 0658 hours and was joined later by a second vessel. The submarine was depth-charged ineffectively until 0952 hours and escaped by going deep. | |||||||
| 11 Dec 1942 | 2015 | 37° 20'N, 6° 34'E | At 2015 hours, a destroyer, five corvettes and a small patrol vessel were sighted at a distance of 3-4,000 metres. Wolframio submerged to attack, but lost contact with her hydrophones. | |||||||
| 13 Dec 1942 | 1725 | 37° 51'N, 6° 56'E | At 1725 hours, four destroyers were sighted at a distance of 2,000 metres. Wolframio turned away to fire her stern torpedoes, but the distance had closed rapidly and the track angle did not permit a good shot. The submarine was forced to submerge. | |||||||
| Wolframio (Volframio) (VO) | 17 Dec 1942 | 0934 | Cagliari | 18 Dec 1942 | 1017 | Naples | 280 | Passage Cagliari-Naples on the surface at 12 knots. | ||

| 5 Feb 1943 | 2111 | (0) Near Cape Carbon. | At 2111 hours, an attempt was made to land an Arditi (commando) team of eleven men led by Tenente Mario Betti on the Algerian coast. The attempt was finally abandoned because of the rough seas. | |||||||

| 18 Feb 1943 | 0715 | 37° 08'N, 5° 59'E | At 0715 hours, a convoy, escorted by destroyers and MTBs, was sighted at a distance of 8-9,000 metres. All the merchant ships were towing a balloon with about 100 metres of cable. Wolframio made a submerged approach but gave up because the noises of the MTBs confused the hydrophone operator. | |||||||
| 18 Feb 1943 | 1015 | 37° 03'N, 5° 57'E | At 1015 hours, two steamers escorted by two MTBs, were sighted at a distance of 5-6,000 metres on easterly course. Wolframio dived again to 50 meters, but could not regain contact. | |||||||

| 9. | Wolframio (Volframio) (VO) | 30 Mar 1943 | 1621 | La Maddalena | 11 Apr 1943 | 1400 | La Maddalena | 790,5 | Sailed for special operation on Algerian coast between Cape Carbon and Cape Sigli, landing a commando consisting of one officer and ten other ranks of the Arditi. After several attempts on 5-7th April, the operation was aborted due to poor visibility. | |
| 8 Apr 1943 | 0002 | 38° 12'N, 4° 44'E (e) 38° 19'N, 4° 20'E | At 0002B/8, a submarine, apparently of the ARGO class, was sighted at a distance of 1,000 metres. It did not answer recognition signals and Wolframio broke off contact.
This was HMS Torbay (Lt. R.J. Clutterbuck, RN) returning to Algiers froom patrol. HMS Torbay had obtained a radar contact at a range of 1500 yards at 2250A/7. When the range had closed to 900 yards the contact was seen to be an enemy submarine. Torpedoes could not be fired so it was decided to engage the enemy with the 4" gun but the enemy dived before fire could be opened apparently also having sighed HMS Torbay by now. The position in which the enemy submarine dived is given as 38°19'N, 04°20'E which is about 20 nautical miles off from the position given by Wolframio. However navigation could well be a bit off in both submarines as the weather conditions were bad and most likely no accurate sights had been taken for a while. | |||||||
| Wolframio (Volframio) (VO) | 12 Apr 1943 | 1045 | La Maddalena | 13 Apr 1943 | 0855 | Naples | 232 | Passage La Maddalena-Pozzuoli with the submarine Mocenigo, escorted by two MAS. | ||
| 12 Apr 1943 | 1230 | 41° 06'N, 9° 43'E | At 1230 hours, a submarine was sighted at a distance of 2,000 metres. It was lost from sight very quickly and Wolframio made an enemy report. A MAS boat was sent to investigate. | |||||||

| 9 Sep 1943 | 0800 | The submarine Jalea came into view and the two commanders discussed the situation. Finally, Ciro Menotti proceeded to Brindisi while Jalea returned to Taranto. | ||||||||
| 9 Sep 1943 | 1800 1900 (e) | (e) 39° 51'N, 19° 04'E | HM submarine Unshaken fired a warning shot across the bow of Ciro Menotti. The Italian submarine replied with a burst of machine gun fire before recognising the identity of the British submarine, T.V. Manunta later explaining that he had mistaken Unshaken for a German U-boat. The British submarine took one Italian officer and two ratings aboard while a British officer and three other ranks boarded the Italian submarine. Manunta was told to proceed to Malta [the exchange of gunfire is not mentioned in the Italian patrol report). | |||||||
