1. | Luigi Settembrini (ST) | 20 Jun 1940 | 2158 | Taranto | 21 Jun 1940 | 1052 | Taranto | 90 | Sailed with the submarine Uebi Scebeli and patrolled in Zone B. Defensive patrol in the middle of Gulf of Taranto. Uneventful. | |
Luigi Settembrini (ST) | 4 Jul 1940 | 1630 | Taranto | 5 Jul 1940 | 1645 | Augusta | 283 | Passage Taranto-Augusta. Sailed with the submarine Settimo. | ||
5 Jul 1940 | 0515 | (0) 189° - Cape Colonne 10.3 miles. | A dark ship was observed moving northward with three small vessels. A single torpedo (533mm) was fired from No.1 bow tube angled at 030°, at a distance of 3,000 metres. Luckily, it missed. This was the Italian armed merchant cruiser Caralis (3,510 GRT, built 1928) and C.C. Bardi had not been informed of her passage. At this time, the submarine had lost contact with Ruggiero Settimo but they joined again at 0615 hours. | |||||||
2. | Luigi Settembrini (ST) | 8 Jul 1940 | 2320 | Augusta | 12 Jul 1940 | 1300 | Augusta | 442,4 | Patrolled in 36°20'N, 17°20'E, on a patrol line on the parallel with Settimo, Sciesa, Pisani and Brin. | |
Luigi Settembrini (ST) | 27 Jul 1940 | Augusta | 27 Jul 1940 | Augusta | 11 | Exercises. | ||||
3. | Luigi Settembrini (ST) | 4 Aug 1940 | 1758 | Augusta | 19 Aug 1940 | 0822 | Augusta | 1281,5 | Patrolled in western Aegean, between 35°20'N and 36°20'N, and between 21°30'E and 22°30'E. | |
7 Aug 1940 | 0515 | 35° 40'N, 22° 20'E | Two large destroyers had first been sighted at 0457 hours. At one point they appeared to be moving away, but they changed course and came back within range. On the spur of the moment, C.C. Bardi decided to fire a single torpedo from a distance of 3,000 metres, aimed at the second unit. It missed. The two vessels were possibly HMS Jervis and HMS Hostile, carrying an A/S sweep in the area of Elephonisi Island. | |||||||

25 Oct 1940 | 0950-1055 | (0) Off Cyrenaica. | The French hospital ship Sphinx was sighted. | |||||||
26 Oct 1940 | 1818 | (0) Off Cyrenaica. | An unknown submarine was observed at 5,000 metres and she quickly submerged. This was actually Dessié who mistook Settembrini for an Italian torpedo-boat and dived preventively. | |||||||
Luigi Settembrini (ST) | 26 Nov 1940 | 0835 | Messina | 26 Nov 1940 | 1545 | Messina | 78 | Exercises. | ||
5. | Luigi Settembrini (ST) | 21 Dec 1940 | 0100 | Messina | 1 Jan 1941 | 1330 | Messina | 1603,5 | Patrolled off Cyrenaic coast from 32°50'N, 22°50'E, on course 190° for 190 miles then on course 360° for 30 miles and from 36°00'N, 20°40'E to 36°00'N, 17°20'E. | |
24 Dec 1940 | 0527 0532 (e) | 33° 03'N, 22° 39'E (e) 33° 20'N, 22° 43'E | At 0519 hours, a submarine was sighted bearing 020° on the port side at a distance of 4,000 metres, proceeding westward. Luigi Settembrini took an interception course and at 0527 hours, having closed to 1,200 metres, fired a single bow torpedo but it missed. Bardi gave the order to prepare for gun action, but then cancelled as the submarine appeared to be similar to Tembien. He took his submarine deep to disengage. This was HMS Otus (Lt. Cdr. E.C.F. Nicolay, RN) who reported being attacked by a MAMELI class submarine. | |||||||

23 Apr 1941 | 0244 | 33° 26'N, 26° 23'E | A cruiser of the LEANDER class on a NNW course was first sighted at 0237 hours at a distance of 4,000 metres. Seven minutes later, the submarine remaining on the surface, fired two bow torpedoes (533mm) as the range had closed to 2,000 metres. They missed. This was perhaps the light cruiser HMAS Perth ? | |||||||
23 Apr 1941 | 0246.5 | 33° 26'N, 26° 23'E | A third torpedo was fired at the same cruiser and the submarine immediately submerged. Three explosions were heard after ten minutes, but they were probably the torpedoes hitting the bottom. | |||||||

8. | Luigi Settembrini (ST) | 5 Jul 1941 | 2002 | Messina | 19 Jul 1941 | 1403 | Messina | 2130 | Patrolled north-east of Ras Azzaz, through Point G (30°20'N, 25°40'E) and Point Y (32°05'N, 25°40'E) to area between 32°00'N and 32°15'N, and between 25°00'E and 25°20'E. | |
10 Jul 1941 | 0025 0100 (e) | (e) 32° 07'N, 24° 59'E | Two motorboats were sighted a range of 1,500 metres and the submarine opened fire with her main armament and her Breda machine guns. After the third 102mm round, the gun jammed, however, hits were claimed with the machine guns after 250 13,2mm rounds were fired. The target was apparently a Eureka boat on passage from Tobruk to Mersa Matruh. No mention of damage was made. | |||||||
11 Jul 1941 | 0330 | (0) North of Cyrenaic coast. | Two destroyers, proceeding at high speed steering 110°, were observed from a distance of 8-9,000 metres, but they passed out of range. | |||||||
13 Jul 1941 | 0436 0600 (e) | (e) 32° 03'N, 25° 53'E | At 0423 hours, an enemy unit was seen 7-8,000 metres ahead and the submarine proceeded at full speed to the attack. At 0436 hours, the distance had dropped to about 2,000 metres and a torpedo was fired from the surface to the target, now identified as a destroyer, but without success. Luigi Settembrini submerged eight minutes later, as the enemy warship turned toward her. However, the submarine returned to periscope depth when the enemy did not show much aggressiveness, but a second destroyer now appeared on the scene at a distance of 3,000 m. The submarine had remained at periscope depth, when one of the destroyers suddenly increased speed and made straight for the submarine, which was forced to go deep. Bardi had ordered tubes no.5 and 7 to be ready for a stern shot, but was now forced to disengage. At 0504 hours, three depth charges exploded near the submarine and about a minute later another four more exploded but further away . The submarine was slightly damaged but escaped by going down to 90 metres. The destroyers were HMS Hero and HMAS Voyager, on passage from Tobruk to Alexandria. The Australian destroyer had first sighted the Italian submarine, but it was HMS Hero who delivered the attack, dropping six depth charges set at medium depth. The two destroyers did not linger on the scene and resumed their passage. | |||||||
14 Jul 1941 | 1407 | (e) 32° 03'N, 25° 53'E | A two-funneled steamer was observed. The submarine closed to attack at a distance of 2,000 metres, but the vessel (approximately 4-5,000) tons appeared to be abandoned very near the coast and had perhaps run aground. It was not considered worth of expending a torpedo on her and the attack was aborted. | |||||||
14 Jul 1941 | 2104 | (e) 32° 03'N, 25° 53'E | A section of destroyers was observed at a distance of 5,000 metres, on a 270° course, at high speed. The range could not be closed and no attack was attempted. | |||||||
15 Jul 1941 | 0305 | (e) 32° 03'N, 25° 53'E | A pair of destroyers were observed on a 100° course at speed of at least 25 knots. The range could not be closed and no attack was attempted. | |||||||
15 Jul 1941 | 0400-0440 | 31° 58'N, 24° 59'E | What appeared to be a small vessel was observed, at a short distance, as the submarine was cruising on the surface. Gun fire was about to be opened, when the gunnery 2nd officer remarked that the target may be an Italian submarine. However, another unit appeared shortly after, very similar to the first one. As it was improbable to be in the presence of two Italian submarines, gunfire was opened with the deck gun targeting the vessel to starboard and the machine guns dealing with the vessel to port at about 600 metres. However, after the fifth round, the 102mm gun jammed and the action was broken off although some hits were claimed, the Breda machine guns having expended 400 13.2mm rounds. These were probably the British Army lighters A-10 and A-11 on their way to Tobruk. | |||||||
15 Jul 1941 | 2310 | 31° 58'N, 24° 59'E (0) North of Cyrenaic coast near Ras Azzaz. | Two small vessels were observed, similar the ones encountered earlier in the day. Fire was opened with the Breda machine guns from a distance of 1,000 metres. As the deck gun was still not operable, Bardi did not insist and after firing 250 13.2mm rounds, he decided to break off the action. These were probably the Army lighters A-10 and A-11. A-10 was later attacked by Junkers 87 dive-bombers and sunk. | |||||||
16 Jul 1941 | 0135-0226 | (0) North of Cyrenaic coast. | A vessel was observed which later proved to be a 600-700-ton tanker and the submarine opened fire with heavy and light machine-guns (the deck gun was still inoperable) and attempted to launch a 450mm torpedo from the bow tube set at a depth of 3 metres, but it misfired. C.C. Bardi ordered a second torpedo to be fired from a bow tube (533mm) also set a depth of 3 metres, but it appeared to pass under the target. The bow tubes were now empty and as the submarine did not carry reloads. Bardi decided to ram the vessel and the shock was violent. The vessel now appeared to be sinking slowly and Luigi Settembrimi circled to pick up survivors but despite shouting to them on the megaphone, no one answered. The vessel was still afloat and Bardi decided to finish her off with a stern shot (450mm) from 500 metres. Although the torpedo had been set to a depth of 2 metres and appeared to go hit the squarely amidship, no explosion ensued and it must again have missed under. Another torpedo fired from stern set at a depth of 0 metres had the same result. Frustrated, Bardi could only order machine-gun fire to aim at the waterline hoping they would speed up the sinking. A total of 900 13.2mm and 200 6.5mm rounds were fired before the submarine left the scene. The target may have been the British Army lighter A-10 which was reported missing at that time and may have been damaged by Junkers 87. | |||||||

4 Sep 1941 | 2335-2352 2345 (e) | 36° 28'N, 11° 05'E | Luigi Settembrini encountered the Italian tug Nettuno towing the sailing vessel Giuseppe Bertolli who were proceeding from Hammamet to Pantelleria. Nettuno opened fire on the submarine mistaking it for British. The submarine replied with her deck gun claiming three 102mm hits (only one actually hit) and with her machine-guns. The crew of the tug abandoned ship in two lifeboats. When the identity was ascertained, they returned to their vessel with one crew member slightly wounded. The tug was still in condition to continue her voyage and the submarine left the scene at 0115 hours on the 5th. | |||||||
