… Italian Submarine

"Late last year, a team of Greek divers located the wreckage of an Italian submarine that sunk in the Aegean Sea in the early days of World War II. The British Royal Navy's HMS Torbay sunk the submarine Jantina in 1941—one of the few times during the war that a sub-versus-sub engagement ended with the loss of a vessel. More than 80 years later, Jantina was located off the Greek Coast in waters more than 300 feet deep.

I am amazed that six sailors survived. Submarines were hardly armoured to withstand heavy calibre rifled ammunition, let alone a blooming great torpedo strike.

Really haunting to see a wargrave like this. Doubtless in time some company will salvage it for scrap and I will not speculate on their home port.
