Hi Winston,
another question,in the Log of the Hms Safari,during the attack on the Bella Italia/295, 9th april 1943 you can see that the ship was accompanied by a small motor minesweeper,that had probably beached herself,you know which boat it was? http://uboat.net/allies/warships/ship/3430.html
Greetings and thanks a lot

Hello Nap my sources does not mention the presence of other ships during the attack so I think the only way to clarify this point is to perform a research at the USMM. She could be "a small motor minesweeper" or another ship assigned to the "vigilanza foranea", but is very difficult to say.

Ciao Winston ,ciao Francesco
during my research i found a discussion on the forum marinearchiv about a confidential report "Enemy or Italian Warships and Merchant Vessels sunk or damaged in waters of Southern Sardinia".
It is mentioned in the US War Diary,NOB Palermo,Port of Cagliari 11 Feb.1944.
Do you have more information about this report?

Come promesso ecco qualche dato relativo alla Salpi (ex Vittoria, Ariele, Escambia). Questa nave da carico venne ordinata al cantiere "Bacini & Scali Napoletani", dalla Lucania Società Italiana di Navigazione di Napoli. Impostata a Baia nel 1917 venne varata nel 1920 con il nome di Vittoria. Completato l'allestimento il 27.07.1920 la nave presentava le seguenti caratteristiche: 2710 tsl, 1584 tsn, 3500 tpl, 1 caldaia a triplice espansione Tosi(Legnano), 1 elica, velocità 10 nodi. In servizio dal luglio del 1920 nel 1923 venne ribattezza Ariele. Ceduta nel 1928 alla ditta individuale Alberto Tomaso Rosasco di Genova, nel cui compartimento marittimo venne iscritta con matr. GE1501, adottò il nuovo nome di Escambia. Nel 1939 passa alla Peninsulare Società di Navigazione, anche questa con sede a Genova, sotto le cui insegne serve come Salpi. Danneggiata a Genova il 9.02.1941 nel corso dell'operazione Grog verrà affondata, mentre si trovava in navigazione sulla rotta Civitavecchia-Cagliari, il 9.02.1942 alle ore 15.40 a circa 2 miglia per 100° da Capo Ferrato probabilmente da una mina facente parte di uno dei due sbarramenti posati, tra il 21 e il 22 ottobre 1941, dall'HMS Rorqual. Non risulta essere mai stata requisita dalla Regia Marina e/o iscritta nel ruolo del naviglio ausiliario dello Stato.

Hi Winston,
you wrote the owner of the Salpi was the "Peninsulare Societa di Navigazione" in Genoa. I found an abbreviaton"Peninsulare Italiana" and i found another company in Genoa called" Peninsulare Societa Italiana di Cabotaggio".Are these all different names for the same company?
Thanks a lot for your help

Well I used the name of the company found on the Lloyd's register of ships but in fact there is another source, that seems to quote the RINA (Registro Italiano Navale), which calls this company "Peninsulare Societa Italiana di Cabotaggio":

Hi Winston,
if you look at the measurements of the Salpi in the Lloyd's register you have an abbreviation "Q",does this mean quarterdeck and this quarterdeck was under the poopdeck? I think "B" stands for Bridgedeck,with 16 feet quite short,this was a single deck or on top of the quarterdeck.You can give me an idea how the ship looked like?
Thanks very much for your help
Greetings

This is the meaning of the letters:

CODE
"P" = Poop
"Q" = Quarter deck
"B" = Bridge deck
"F" = Forecastle

Well it is not easy to say, all is possible, but the vessel's profile could be similar to this:

You must consider that I don't have evidence that this profile is right: it's only a guess, so be careful. I think that "tr" could be an abbreviation for tiers: so 1 deck 2 tiers but I am not sure. I will look into the matter winks.gif
