Hello, can anybody identify this boat ? http://www.imagebana...mg008Kopie5.jpg Location is on entrance of La Pallice, Date unknown, possible 1941. Seems to be a Marconi class sub - I`m a little bit confused about the conning tower arrangement. Thanks UIT

Hi Silvio, thanks for your kind response and your additional informations. Please let me know the meaning of Maricosom. Where can I find additional fotos, crew lists and informations about the officiers ? thanks UIT

Hi Totiano, thank you very much for your explanation of this acronym. The word Betasom is also an acronym I think ? Is BETA the greek letter and stands for Bordeaux and SOM for Sommergibile ? Was Betasom only for the atlanticbound submarines operational centre ? How could the Italian submarines pass heavy guarded Gibraltar ? Regards UIT

Hi Kashin, thank your for the link, I will try translate this very informative side, but my knowledge of the Italian language is poorest and so it will take times I think. thanks for your kindness UIT

Hi all, on uboat.net I red about Operation Marigammasom, a commander training in Gotenhafen in 1941/42 with Italian submarine Reginaldo Giuliani. Unfortunately Gudmundur did not have additional informations. I hope that someone in this forum can give me detailed informations about this time or let me know where I can find informations and fotos in the net. Which route took the boat to Gotenhafen ? Where comes the word Marigammasom from ? It is not in Italian dictionarys. Thanks in advance UIT
