RSI Anti Sub ship CS 13 "Antonio Landi"

Post by ptdockyard »

I have some pictures of this ship in her original three masted schooner rig. I understand she was modified by the Marina Nazionale Repubblicana as a cacciasomergilbili Subchaser late 1943 or so. The May 2008 Issue of Storia Militare has a photo that suggests she had her masts cut down and a 102mm addded on the bow and at least two gun tubs midships with 20mm or some other AA.

Does anyone have information of this ship in her anti sub rig regarding armament and modifications? She served around La Spezia- did she see action against any allied naval forces?

Any photos around?

Thanks,
