Mediterranean
During the night of 18/19 November, three frogmen belonging to the Decima Flottiglia MAS of the Italian Socialist Republic were captured at Leghorn after being dropped by a fast motorboat. They were S.T.V. Bruno Oswaldo Malacarne, Sotto Capo (Petty Officer) Marcello Bertoncin, and Marinaio (ordinary seaman) Edmondo Sorgetti. Under interrogation, they revealed they had left from Castagna (near La Spezia), each carrying two limpets to attack ships on the Curvilinea mole in Leghorn harbour.
Loss of Luigi Settembrini
Settembrini (T.V. Eugenio Parodi) sailed from Gibraltar for Bermuda on 11 November. Four days later, she was accidentally rammed and sunk by her escort, the destroyer USS Fragment (DE–677), in position 36°11’ N, 19°45’ W. Parodi, and seven men survived. The American liaison team on board the submarine, consisting of Lt (jg) Samuel Peter Bifarella, D-V(S), USNR, radioman third class Caspar George DiMaggio, and signalman second class Daniel D. Esposito, shared the fate of forty-two Italian crew members. During the night, in low visibility, the American destroyer was maintaining a roving patrol ahead of the submarine when the officer of the deck ordered a slight turn to port, unaware that the submarine was now abeam. This would be the last submarine loss of the Regia Marina. Initially, it was not clear that Settembrini had been sunk, and the Flag Officer Gibraltar ordered a tug to sail from the Azores to the assistance of the Italian submarine. Eventually, the damaged Frament was assisted by the destroyer Scott (DE-214) and the British tug Tenacity and reached Horta (Azores) for temporary repairs.
