Perla Operational Timeline
| 23 Sep 1941 | Morosini sighted fellow Italian submarine Perla in the Atlantic Ocean at 1050 hours and exchanged recognition signals. |
| 9 Jul 1942 | Italian submarine Perla attacked British corvette HMS Hyacinth with torpedoes off Beirut, Lebanon. After all torpedoes missed, Hyacinth counterattacked with depth charges, forcing Perla to dive, but mechanical failures forced the submarine to surface and become captured. Perla would later be pressed into British and then Greek service. |
