Tier VIII Submarine

Italy

Pietro Micca

Pietro Micca was the first successful Italian ocean-going minelaying submarine, and she served as the prototype for subsequent series, including the Foca class. During World War II, she was deployed in the Mediterranean. Shortly after Italy entered the war, in late 1940, she was partially converted for transport missions. In July 1943, Pietro Micca was sunk near the Strait of Otranto by a British submarine.
