12.	CB 2 ()	16 Jun 1942	1755	Yalta	18 Jun 1942	1200	Yalta	130	Patrolled south of Sevastopol. According to sailing orders, was to have patrolled in 44°17'N, 33°39'E and 44°17'N, 33°13'E (probably patrolled only latter position as she sailed one day later than ordered).
		17 Jun 1942	1045	44° 17'N, 33° 13'E (0) Approximately.	At 1045 hours, CB 1 was sighted and the two midgets proceeded in company.

		18 Jun 1942	0502 0606 (e)	44° 17'N, 33° 13'E	At 0500 hours, a Soviet submarine was sighted dead ahead at distance of 1,800 metres. It appeared to be of the CHUKA ([SHCHUKA] class and about to submerge. At 0502 hours, two torpedoes (450mm) were fired with an interval of 8 seconds. The first was a surface runner. The enemy submarine was now diving and CB 2 did the same. One explosion was heard after 100 seconds and it was believed to have been sunk. The target was the small Soviet submarine A-4 (Senior Lieutenant Sergey Artemyevich Trofimchuk) and she was missed. At 0606C hours, the Russians heard an explosion which probably the same explosion heard in CB 2 and was probably that of a torpedo exploding prematurely.
		18 Jun 1942	0644	44° 17'N, 33° 13'E (0) Approximately.	At 0644 hours, an aircraft was seen and the submarine dived.

Suddenly, eight men were seen firing with pistols, light machine-guns and two machine guns. The midget submarine turned away but was hit by about 20 rounds. Fortunately, none of the crew was hit. A light machine-gun was used to keep the two small boats at a distance. At 0830 hours, CB 2 reported the incident and at 1010 hours, an Italian MAS was sighted on its way to look for the two boats. These were actually two small boats from a reconnaissance detachment from SOR (Sevastopol Defence District), returning after an unsuccessful landing behind enemy lines.
