  18 Apr 1943222038° 38'N, 6° 36'EAt 2220 hours, a German aircraft was sighted. No action was taken. Seven minutes later another two aircraft appeared and Dandolo submerged.

An unknown submarine was seen at a distance of 1,500-2,000 metres, steering 210°. She fired three torpedoes at Dandolo who turned away as two torpedoes passed on the port side and one on the starboard side. Turcio had intended to fire a stern shot, but the smoke emitted by his diesel engines obscured the visibility. This was the Dutch HrMs Dolfijn (Lt. Cdr. H.M.L.F.E. van Oostrom Soede) and she had fired three torpedoes at long range.

Dandolo ( DO, I.16)5 May 19430959La Maddalena6 May 19430708Naples230Passage La Maddalena-Naples.
  5 May 1943130340° 57'N, 10° 08'EAt 1303 hours, a periscope was sighted. Dandolo attempted to fire a pair of torpedoes but only one left the tube, the second misfired. Range was 1,000 metres and two explosions were heard after four minutes. T.V. Turcio assumed that his torpedo had exploded at the end of her run and that the enemy submarine had done the same.

In fact, no allied submarine operated in the area.

2.Dandolo ( DO, I.16)14 Jul 19431330Naples18 Jul 19430730CrotonePatrolled off Augusta (Sicily), operation ZETA. At 2029 hours on the 16th, MARICOSOM ordered her to an area between 36°30'N and 36°50'N, and between 15°07 and 15°50'E. This was countermanded at 2345 on the 16th and she was ordered to Taranto via (1) 37°21'N, 17°00'E. (2) 39°00'N, 28°00? E (sic, should be 17°40'E, this was an error in transcribing the Italian Grid should have been 64 instead of 44) and A.2. At 1045 hours on the 18th, Dandolo was alerted by SUPERMARINA that an enemy submarine was in Grid 4734 (39°00'N, 17°00'E) at 0900 hours on the 18th.
  15 Jul 1943223037° 19'N, 15° 55'EAt 2230 hours, the conning tower of a submarine was seen, this was probably Alagi. Dandolo turned away.
  16 Jul 1943011637° 04'N, 16° 02'EAt 0116 hours, a dark object, believed to be a submarine, was observed. This was probably Alagi. Dandolo submerged.

At 0257 hours, a naval squadron was sighted at 5,000 metres. They were believed to be two battleships of the KING GEORGE V class escorted by four destroyers. Ten minutes, later, Dandolo fired a salvo of four torpedoes from her bow tubes at a range of 2,000 metres. Two loud hits were heard. This has not been confirmed. T.V. Turcio had also intended to turn and fire his stern torpedoes, but one of the torpedoes exploded after a run of 500 metres and fearing of being discovered, he took his submarine deep.

At 2225 hours, Dandolo was suddenly attacked by an aircraft which appeared from the dark part of the horizon. It dropped four bombs and two depth charges. Two bombs hit the base of the conning tower and two bombs missed the stern, while the two depth-charges, estimated at 200 kg, lodged in the cavity of the counter turret. Luckily, those that hit failed to explode or Dandolo would have been destroyed, but the two depth charges prevented the submarine from diving for fear they would detonate. The aircraft was Wellington 'K' (MP617) of 221 Squadron piloted by Flying Officer W. Lewis. It had sighted a large Italian submarine, estimated at 1,000 tons armed with two guns, one fore and one aft. Lewis decided to attack up moon and approached from the port beam releasing five depth charges from a height of only 50 feet, the last depth charge observed to be exploding under the hull abaft while the rear gunner fired off 100 rounds of his machine gun. After the attack, the bomber remained in the area, observing the submarine still on the surface, circling tightly, smoke and fumes pouring from the conning tower. Lewis attempted to contact surface vessels in the area to home them in, but failed to get an answer. At 0020 hours, the aircraft left the scene. Dandolo abandoned her patrol and, at 2322 hours, informed MARICOSOM of her predicament and that she would be off Cape Colonne at 0600 hours.

Goffredo Mameli observed an explosion 250-300 metres to starboard side and, shortly after, another about 250 metres to port. The escorting destroyer Grecale signalled that they were under air attack, but these were actually premature explosions from torpedoes fired by U-616 (OL Siegfried Koitschka). The Italians vessels were unaware that they had been under attack from a U-boat and, for security reasons, were diverted to Algiers.
