		29 May 1941	1625	36° 59'N, 17° 26'E	At 1625 hours, a derelict mine was sighted at a distance of 1,000 metres. An attempt to destroy it by machine-gun fire failed.
		6 Jun 1941	0325	32° 10'N, 25° 20'E	At 0325 hours, a destroyer was sighted at a range of 3,000 metres, steering 100° at 15 knots. Alagi maneuvered on the surface at 7 knots to carry out a stern attack but was thwarted when a second destroyer appeared at 1,500 metres. She crash-dived and was not detected. In the following days she sighted only small fishing vessels.
		12 Jun 1941	1947	(0) Approximately.	At 1947 hours, a Sunderland was sighted steering 290°. Alagi was proceeding on the surface at 9.5 knots and T.V. Giulio Contreas elected to fight it out. The aircraft passed ahead at a height of 100 metres, flashing white lights and ineffectively strafing the submarine. Alagi's light and heavy machine-guns opened fire, claiming repeated hits. The aircraft came back and dropped two bombs, which fell astern of the submarine, without causing damage. However, this time its firing was accurate and hit the conning tower with 15 rounds, mortally wounding gunner Paolo Nuzzo and slightly wounding another. The aircraft was hit and disappeared trailing smoke. Contreas believed that it may have been shot down. This was a Sunderland from Malta, but the report seems to have been lost.

		3 Aug 1941	2327	37° 33'N, 5° 03'E	At 0300 hours, information was received of an important convoy sighted, at 2220 hours on 2nd August, in Italian Grid 8327/5, steering 270° at 16 knots. Alagi was ordered to shift her patrol 20 miles south. At 2327 hours, an illuminated vessel was sighted steering 325°. It was probably French.
		4 Aug 1941	0330	37° 29'N, 5° 08'E	At 0330 hours, an illuminated vessel, probably French, was sighted steering 150°.

At 1224 hours, a signal from MARICOSOM (1135/27) informed Alagi of a 10-20,000-ton transport in Grid 6580/6, steering 270° at 15 knots. T.V. Giulio Contreas thought that he had a chance to intercept and altered course at maximum speed (9 knots as one of his diesels had defects). From 1935 to 2035 hours, hydrophone effects were heard from this vessel, but it was faster than expected and contact was lost. At 2245 hours, Alagi was informed of an armed steamer apparently damaged in 37°24' N, 06°54' E and ordered to attack it. This was Deucalion attacked by Bandiera.
		28 Aug 1941	1040	37° 24'N, 6° 50'E	At 0013 hours on the 28th, the submarine was informed of an Italian aircraft shot down and ordered look for survivors. At 1040 hours, a body was sighted floating in the sea and was recovered. It was T.V. Antonio Forni, naval observer. No survivors were found.

16	Contreas, Giulio	15 Sep 1941	1304	Cagliari	26 Sep 1941	1155	Cagliari	1049	Patrolled in zone K.1 (between 37°14'N and the coast and between 11°00'E and Ras Iddà) [next to Smeraldo in zone K.2] off Cape Bon. Then ordered to zone K.3. Uneventful.
		20 Sep 1941	1015	37° 08'N, 11° 02'E	At 1015 hours, an Italian 20,000-ton motor-ship escorted by four destroyers were sighted on a northerly course. Alagi had been informed of their passage and remained submerged at a depth of 20 meters, with one destroyer passing over her exactly seven minutes later . This was the troop transport Vulcania escorted by the destroyers Da Recco, Da Noli, Pessagno and Usodimare travelling from Tripoli to Naples.
	Contreas, Giulio	4 Oct 1941	1301	Cagliari	4 Oct 1941	1648	Cagliari	21	Exercises, escorted by the minesweeper Balear.

		18 Oct 1941	0500	37° 17'N, 6° 32'E	At 0500 hours, a steamer was observed at a distance of 10,000 metres. Alagi could not close to investigate. At 1405 hours, the submarine received a signal from MARICOSOM (1245/18) indicating an aircraft carrier, a battleship and six destroyers steering 090°, 14 knots at 1132 hours in Italian Grid 9319/5, about 120 miles away. This was the aircraft carrier HMS Ark Royal, the battleship HMS Rodney, the light cruiser HMS Hermione and seven destroyers carrying out operation CALLBOY. The submarine altered course to intercept but could not make contact.

Alagi altered course to westward to intercept, but a new MARICOSOM signal (1702/10) reported them in Grid 1814/6, at 1345 hours, on course 090°, 22 knots. This meant the enemy would be passing 20 miles to the north of her position, the submarine tried to close but only heard H.E.

Uneventful.
		30 May 1942	2230	37° 45'N, 12° 06'E	At 2230 hours, a sailing vessel was sighted. Alagi altered away to avoid being seen.
25	Puccini, Sergio	8 Jun 1942	0705	Trapani	18 Jun 1942	0806	Naples	1332,8	Sailed escorted out by the torpedo boat Dezza, via 38°30'N, 12°00'E, for patrol in area between 37°20'N and 37°45'N, and between 09°20'E and 10°00'E, off La Galite, Ras Enghela and East of Malta.
		8 Jun 1942	1200	38° 21'N, 12° 35'E	At 1200 hours, an Italian aircraft was seen flying in a southerly direction.
		8 Jun 1942	1232	38° 24'N, 12° 15'E	At 1232 hours, a derelict mine was sunk by machine-gun fire.
		8 Jun 1942	1235	38° 23'N, 12° 16'E	At 1235 hours, an Italian aircraft was seen flying in a northerly direction.
		8 Jun 1942	1507	38° 27'N, 11° 48'E	At 1507 hours, an Italian aircraft was seen.
		8 Jun 1942	1620	38° 21'N, 11° 32'E	At 1620 hours, an Italian aircraft was seen.
		8 Jun 1942	1917	38° 10'N, 11° 03'E	At 1917 hours, an aircraft was seen at a distance of 8,000 metres, flying toward the submarine. Alagi dived as the aircraft failed to answer recognition signals.
		8 Jun 1942	2119 2123 (e)	38° 25'N, 11° 05'E (0) 273° - Trapani - 72 miles.	At 1942 hours, hydrophone noises were detected. At 2007 hours, Alagi had come to periscope depth and observed a freighter, escorted by a destroyer, steering 170°. As T.V. Sergio Puccini had not been informed of the passage of Italian ships in this area, at that time, he assumed they were enemy ships and prepared for an attack. At 2020 hours, the range had closed to 5,000 metres and the flag could be seen, but Puccini could not make out the colours. However, the destroyer was recognised to be of typically British design with four guns in single mounts. Twenty minutes later, another destroyer and two more freighters appeared. At 2119 hours, three torpedoes (533mm) were fired from bow tubes at ranges varying from 2,000 to 3,000 metres. The "senza bolla" (bubbleless) apparatus failed to work properly and the submarine briefly broke surface. After 3 minutes, a loud explosion was heard followed, very quickly, by three fairly close depth-charge explosions. At 0007 hours on 9th June, the submarine made an enemy report. However, the success was soon turned into tragedy: Her victim was the destroyer Usodimare (1917 tons) in convoy with the transports Vettor Pisani (6,339 GRT, built 1939) and Sestriere (7,993 GRT, built 1942), the destroyer Premuda and the torpedo-boat Circe steering 180°, 13 knots. It was the presence of the war prize Premuda (ex-Yugoslav, built in England) who had induced Puccini in error. Usodimare had seen a torpedo track and put the helm hard to starboard, but it was too late. The torpedo struck in boiler room no. 3, breaking her in two and she sank in about 20-30 seconds. The torpedo boat Cigno, MAS 563 and MAS 564 were sailed from Trapani to join Circe to look for the survivors. Five officers and 160 ratings were saved, six officers and 115 ratings were missing (the total included 30 passengers).
		14 Jun 1942	2105 2022 (e)	37° 36'N, 9° 53'E	Since 10th June, MARICOSOM had informed the submarines of ships leaving Gibraltar in an easterly direction, obviously a new attempt to supply Malta. At 0103 hours, Alagi was informed that this force consisted of a battleship, three destroyers, ten escort vessels and a number of transports. This was rectified at 0735 hours as two aircraft carriers, a battleship, three cruisers and destroyers sighted at 0605 hours in Italian Grid 5801/2, steering 090°, 16 knots. More signals followed. At 1745 hours, the convoy was sighted through the periscope, in 37°38' N, 09°51' E at distances varying from 10,000 to 20,000 metres. At 1810 hours, the range was down to 4,000 metres and Alagi now proceeded submerged to close at a depth of 15 metres. At 1925 hours, a steamer was observed to be hit by a bomb. Five minutes later, a battleship was sighted at a distance of 15,000 metres, steering 335.5° and, at 2045 hours, a cruiser was sighted listing heavily to port. At the same time, to the eastward, an aircraft carrier and a battleship were sighted, followed shortly after by a second aircraft carrier in the process of landing her aircraft at a distance of 7-8,000 metres. At 2105 hours, two torpedoes (one 533mm and one 450mm) were fired from the stern tubes at a range of 1,500 metres aimed at an aircraft carrier. Due to an error in transmission the 533mm torpedo was fired at an angle of 060° to port instead of to starboard. Alagi now only had one 450mm torpedo left in a forward tube. Both torpedoes missed. The target was probably the aircraft carrier HMS Eagle with the battleship HMS Malaya, the aircraft carrier HMS Argus and the light cruisers HMS Kenya and HMS Charybdis, screened by destroyers. Alagi was hunted and depth-charged by the destroyer HMS Marne and then by the minesweeper HMS Speedy who dropped five depth charges. The submarine was claimed probably sunk but escaped damage.
	Puccini, Sergio	20 Jun 1942	1005	Naples	21 Jun 1942	1700	Augusta	1332,8	Passage Naples-Augusta. Met the submarine Dessié at 0515 hours on the 21st. Was later joined by the submarine Acciaio and escorted to Augusta by the torpedo boat Abba.
	Puccini, Sergio	25 Jun 1942	0905	Augusta	26 Jun 1942	1815	Trapani	316	Passage Augusta-Trapani. Escorted through the Straits of Messina by motorboat Mazzari (A.S.66).
26	Puccini, Sergio	3 Jul 1942	2200	Trapani	22 Jul 1942	0850	Trapani	2756,2	Patrolled between 33°40'N and 36°00'N, and between 32°00'E and the Syrian coast.
		6 Jul 1942	1040	34° 48'N, 21° 32'E	At 1040 hours, an aircraft was sighted at a distance of 10,000 metres and the submarine dived.
		7 Jul 1942	0920	34° 13'N, 24° 56'E	At 0920 hours, two aircraft were seen at a distance of 7,000 metres and the submarine dived.
		8 Jul 1942	1315	34° 05'N, 29° 19'E	At 1315 hours, a derelict mine was sighted. Alagi turned back to destroy it but could not locate it.
		12 Jul 1942	2004 2105 (e)	34° 59'N, 35° 32'E	At 1935 hours, an illuminated ship was sighted at a distance of 10,000 metres. Twenty minutes later, it was identified as an 8-10,000-ton tanker and shortly after recognised as Turkish. She was steering 200° at 12 knots. At 2004 hours, two torpedoes (533mm) were fired from bow tubes at a distance of 400 metres. About 20 seconds later, a double explosion occurred. This was the Turkish Antares (3,723 GRT, 1893) on a trip from Alexandretta to Haifa. She was hit by only one torpedo, in the engine room and, had to be beached in 34°48'50" N, 35°52' E, near Tartus, Syria. Refloated on 27th July, with the assistance of the HM tug Henrietta Moller, HM tug Tientsin, the armed whaler HMSAS Southern Isles and the Free French armed trawler Reine des Flots, she was towed to Iskanderun.
		14 Jul 1942	0145	33° 50'N, 34° 59'E	At 0145 hours, a destroyer was sighted. At 0157 hours. Alagi attempted to fire her two stern tubes from about 1,000 meters, but could not get into a good attacking position.
		14 Jul 1942	0625	33° 50'N, 34° 59'E	At 0625 hours, a destroyer was sighted steering 040°. A second destroyer was sighted shortly after, on a northerly course and both hunted the submarine until 1230 hours. Alagi rigged for silent running and escaped.
		16 Jul 1942	1335	34° 05'N, 29° 18'E	At 1335 hours, an aircraft was seen and the submarine dived.
		21 Jul 1942	1458	(0) Off Panarca.	At 1458 hours, a derelict mine was sighted and destroyed by machine-gun fire.
	Puccini, Sergio	2 Aug 1942	0800	Trapani	2 Aug 1942	1330	Trapani	28	Engine trials and exercises with the minesweeper Avvenive.
27	Puccini, Sergio	11 Aug 1942	1215	Trapani	17 Aug 1942	0745	Trapani	672	Sailed with Ascianghi and Dessié for patrol between 37°20'N and 38°00'N, and between 10°00'E and 10°40'E, in the Sicilian Channel and off the Tunisian coast, to operate against the PEDESTAL convoy.
		12 Aug 1942	2105 2111 (e)	37° 26'N, 10° 36'E	At 2000 hours, a huge column of smoke was observed through the periscope at about 20,000 metres. Alagi steered toward it. At 2020 hours, the convoy came under air attack and put a up a fierce antiaircraft barrage. A destroyer was hit by a bomb. T.V. Puccini counted fifteen vessels of the cruisers, destroyers and freighter types. At 2100 hours, a violent air attack occurred and two steamers were hit by bombs. At that time the submarine was about 3-4,000 metres away. At 2105 hours, four torpedoes (533mm) were fired from the bow tubes at a distance of 1,500-2,000 metres aimed at a SOUTHAMPTON class cruiser. Alagi heard three explosions as she dived to the bottom at a depth of 90 metres. Puccini believed that no three hits could have hit the cruiser so perhaps a freighter or a destroyer had also been hit. The light cruiser HMS Kenya was indeed damaged, hit in the bow (three killed, one wounded), a second torpedo passed under and two more narrowly missed her stern and she returned to Gibraltar escorted by four destroyers. In some books, Clan Ferguson was claimed sunk in this attack. Survivors of Clan Ferguson (of a crew of 101+13 passengers, 12 were killed) reported to have been torpedoed by an aircraft at 2103 hours. The destroyers HMS Ashanti, HMS Penn and the escort destroyer HMS Derwent hunted the submarine but without success.
		14 Aug 1942	0550+		At 0550 hours, the conning tower of a submarine was sighted disappearing in the distance.
28	Puccini, Sergio	18 Aug 1942	0400	Trapani	18 Aug 1942	2218	Trapani	171	Sailed with Ascianghi and Asteria, escorted by an R.D. (minesweeper) vessel until 0245 hours on the 18th for patrol between 37°20'N and 37°50'N, and between 09°20'E and 10°20'E, off the Tunisian coast but then recalled at 1350 hours on the 18th.

		8 Nov 1942	1158	37° 24'N, 10° 14'E	At 1158 hours, Alagi had been at periscope depth to listen to her radio when suddenly a loud noise was heard and she was shoved to a depth of 24 meters. The submarine then dived to 70 meters. Initially it was believed that the submarine had been bombed by aircraft. Her two periscopes were damaged and there were other damages to the conning tower. Later, TV. Puccini believed that he had collided with another submarine. Alagi had indeed collided with the submarine Diaspro. She was forced to abort her mission.

		6 Jan 1943	1810		At 1810 hours, a submarine was sighted at a distance of 6-8,000 metres.
		7 Jan 1943	1900 1856 (e)	37° 28'N, 5° 18'E	At 1900 hours, Alagi was illuminated by a searchlight of an enemy bomber which was sighted at only 500 metres. It flew over the submarine at an altitude of 100 metres and dropped two bombs. Luckily, they missed the stern by 30 to 50 metres. Alagi immediately crash-dived after the explosions. This was Wellington 'Z' of 179 Squadron. It had detected the submarine at 6 miles and switched the Leigh light when it had closed at half a mile. It dropped four Mark XI Torpex depth-charges from a height of 70 feet and observed one exploding 30 feet from the stern of the submarine. The aircraft circled in the area. When the submarine surfaced at 2000 hours, the aircraft was still there and Alagi had to submerge again.

34	Puccini, Sergio	7 Jul 1943	0212	La Spezia	20 Jul 1943	0815	Naples	1689,2	Initially sailed for patrol in zone 171 (between 38°40'N and 38°50'N and between 07°50'E and 08°20'E). At 1757 hours on 13th July, she was ordered to zone 82 (off East coast of Sicily) through 39°00'N, 15°00'E and point M3. At 2000 hours, on 14th July, she was ordered to pass through the Strait of Messina and 37°50'N, 15°45'E. At 1340 hours on 16th July, she was ordered to area west of zone 86. Returned submerged through the Strait of Messina at 0750-1405 hours on 18th July.
		8 Jul 1943	0945	41° 14'N, 8° 13'E	At 0832 hours, Alagi was sighted by U-407 (KL Ernst-Ulrich Brüller) in German Grid CJ 4357 (41°27' N, 08°10' E), but did not mention it in the report. At 0945 hours, two aircraft were sighted.
		8 Jul 1943	1545	40° 28'N, 8° 00'E	At 1545 hours, an Italian reconnaissance aircraft was seen.
		15 Jul 1943	0100-0115	38° 05'N, 15° 39'E	At 0100 hours, three enemy MTBs were sighted at a distance of 2,000 metres. They were under fire from coastal batteries. Alagi dived and proceeded to her patrol position. These were most likely the British MGB-646, MGB-643 and MGB-641 of the 19th MGB Flotilla.
		15 Jul 1943	1500	37° 33'N, 15° 44'E	At 1500 hours, submarine of the BRONZO class was sighted at a distance of 2,000 metres on the surface, steering 180°. This was most probably Nichelio, who had just surfaced and was proceeding to zone 83 (rectangle between 36°50' N and 37°00' N and between 15°20' E and 15°40' E).
		16 Jul 1943	0100	37° 06'N, 15° 51'E	At 0100 hours, a submarine was sighted at distance of 4,000 metres. Alagi continued toward her patrol position. This was probably Dandolo, who submerged.
		16 Jul 1943	0330	37° 09'N, 15° 50'E	At 0330 hours, three destroyers were sighted at a distance of 2,000 metres. Alagi could not get closer and gave up any prospect for an attack.
		16 Jul 1943	0613 0615 (e)	37° 02'N, 15° 55'E	At 0600 hours, three destroyers were observed through the periscope. They were believed to be the same as those sighted earlier. At 0613 hours, three torpedoes (533mm, G7e type) were fired from the bow tubes (a fourth misfired) at a range of 700-1,200 metres. After 105 seconds a loud explosion was heard giving a running range of 1,500 metres. Alagi went deep to 70-90 metres and, at 0635 hours, heard two escort vessels followed by two patterns of depth charges, but escaped damage. The target was actually the light cruiser HMS Cleopatra, proceeding in company with the light cruiser HMS Euryalus, escorted by the destroyers HMS Quilliam and HMS Quail. Cleopatra was damaged by one torpedo hit (twenty-three killed), her speed was reduced to 4.5 knots. However, she soon managed to increase speed to 10 knots and was joined by HMS Euryalus who was within sight. At 0938 hour, she was joined by HMS Eggesford, HMS Seaham, HMS Poole, HMS Oriana and a Baltimore aircraft and escorted to Malta.
