This was most regrettable as Lucania had obtained a safe conduct from the British government as she was carrying Italian nationals from Eritrea and should not have been molested. The Italians were understandably quite angry and initiated an intense A/S search which resulted in the sinking of HMS Tempest (Lt.Cdr. W.A.K.N. Cavaye, RN). At the time Lt.

This was the German merchant Trapani (1855 GRT, built 1926) escorted by the Italian torpedo boat Generale Antonio Cantore on passage from Tripoli to Trapani. The transport sighted four torpedo tracks (only three had been fired) and took evasive action while a Savoia 79 bomber dropped a green smoke float to mark the position of the submarine. Cantore rushed to the position and dropped ten depth, the first two set at 25 meters and the remainder at 50 meters charges (in Una only eight explosions were heard so probably two failed to explode).

0004 hours - Sighted two merchant vessels and one destroyer bearing 235°. Altered course to close.

0006 hours - Dived, the enemy meanwhile changed course to 185°. Stared attack.

0047 hours - Fired three torpedoes from 1500 yards. 50 Seconds after firing a very loud explosion was heard which broke numerous glass fittings in Una. As this gave a running range of 1200 yards it is thought that this was a torpedo hitting the target. The intended fouth torpedo of the salvo was now not fired. Evasive action was taken but Una was not counter attacked.

The convoy attacked by Una was most likely made up of the Italian merchants Honestas (4932 GRT, built 1920), Sant'Antioco (4994 GRT, built 1919) and the German barge FP 477. They were escorted by the Italian torpedo boats Procione, Ciclone and Ardente. They heard two underwater explosions.

At first this fire from the shore was inaccurate but when an anti-tank gun joined in Una was soon hit twice and one of the gun crew was injured by splinters. When Una dived she grounded at 10 feet and it was necessary to surface and run to seaward for about 10 minutes. During this time she sustained two more hits.
