At 0644 hours, the hydrophones had detected an enemy formation. At 0713 hours, it was recognised as three cruisers screened by destroyers. Twelve minutes later, two torpedoes were fired from the bow tubes (533mm) at a distance of 1,600 metres aimed at the third cruiser. They missed. These were the French light cruisers of the Third Squadron, La Galissonière, Jean de Vienne, Marseillaise (Flagship Rear-Admiral André Amédée Abel Marquis), escorted by destroyers Brestois and Boulonnais. They were alerted by two of their float planes and took avoiding action. One torpedo passed between La Galissonière and Jean De Vienne, missing the latter by 20 meters ahead.

The French cruiser squadron had sent two float planes to scout ahead, HS 35 from La Galissonière and HS 36 from Jean de Vienne. HS 36 sighted the periscope on the port side of the 3rd D.C.T. and dived on it without attacking it as the aircraft was armed with bombs. As HS 35 also closed, she sighted the launching of the two torpedoes and dropped a bomb. The submarine was going deep after firing her torpedoes and had just reached a depth of 20 meters when she was badly shaken by the bomb. La Galissonnière dropped 12 depth-charges and the French Admiral ordered the destroyers of the 5th D.C.T. (Brestois and Boulonnais) to hunt the submarine. They dropped each three grenades without result, the submarine had gone down to 118 meters. At 0702 hours, the destroyer Typhon, who was also escorting the battleship Provence, sighted a bubble attributed to a torpedo launch and dropped six depth-charges without result. Dandolo reported them at 0809 hours (Rome Time) to her starboard side.

At 2030 hours, a tanker estimated at 10,000 tons or more, was observed on a 250° course. The submarine trailed her until 2345 hours, when a single torpedo (533mm, W type) was fired and hit the target. This was the Dutch tanker Hermes (3768 GRT, built 1914) proceeding to England. The torpedo caused a large hole on the port side forward. She was abandoned but, as she did show any sign of sinking, the crew returned on board and brought her to Lisbon. There were no casualties.

At 1800 hours, a steamer was observed zigzagging and Dandolo maneuvered to take a position ahead of her for attack. She appeared to be an 8,000-ton armed steamer. At 2000 hours, a single torpedo (533mm, W type) was fired and struck the vessel in the aft hold and she sank in ten minutes. The victim was the British Ilvington Court (5.187 GRT, built 1919) carrying a cargo of iron ore from Freetown to Cardiff. Her crew of forty-six managed to reach Santa Maria Island (Azores) on 29th August.

  20 Oct 1940185553° 12'N, 25° 34'WA steamer proceeding alone was sighted at a distance of 8,000 metres. The submarine attempted to close but was thwarted by the heavy seas and gave up the chase.
  27 Oct 1940175055° 36'N, 21° 46'WOn receipt of a signal from a U-boat, at 1300 hours, reporting a convoy in 56°15' N, 16°15' W, the submarine took an interception course. Nothing was seen and at 0620 hours on the 28th, the chase was abandoned.
  31 Oct 1940213055° 46'N, 22° 04'WDandolo received a signal from Malaspina (timed 1630/31) reporting a convoy in 57°15' N, 21°15' W and altered course to intercept. Heavy seas forced the submarine to abandon the chase.
  1 Nov 1940092755° 52'N, 20° 54'WA lone steamer steering 030° was sighted at 5,000 metres. Because of visibility conditions, C.C. Boris elected to intercept, submerged at full speed on electric motors, but could not catch up.

Met on her return by the German minesweepers M-2, M-6 and M-21 and Sperrbrecher 16.

2015-2020 (e)
49° 04'N, 19° 31'WAt 1918 hours, a 6,500-ton tanker was sighted in 49°23' N, 19°35' W. At 2155 hours, Dandolo had closed to 500 metres to fire two torpedoes (450mm) from the bow tubes. They broke surface and missed. This was the British Pizarro (1,367 GRT, built 1923), a straggler from convoy O.G.51 from Oban to Gibraltar, carrying 1,500 tons of general cargo and 400 tons of mail.

49° 04'N, 19° 31'W
(e) 49° 03'N, 19° 40'W
At 2228 hours, two torpedoes (450mm) were fired from the stern tubes at a distance of 500 metres. This time both hit. Pizarro sank in 5 minutes with twenty-three of her crew. Three explosions had been felt on board Pizarro, but two were muffled and one was "terrific". There were six survivors who were picked up by the steamer MacBrae, another straggler from the same convoy.
  8 Feb 19411400-172053° 37'N, 18° 47'WAt 1400 hours, a steamer was observed zigzagging on a northeasterly course. The submarine attempted to trail her, but the chase would force her to exit her zone of operation. At 1952 hours, a submarine was sighted at 3,500 metres. This was Morosini who would attack this ship shortly after. The target was the Dutch steamer Prins Fredrik Hendrik (1288 GRT, built 1936).
  22 Feb 19410855-0857
(0) 283° of Pointe La Coubre - 14 miles (off Gironde).
The submarine sighted three torpedo tracks, the nearest passing 40 metres across her bows. The German submarine chaser UJ-E and the minesweepers M-10, M-13 and M-25 were sent to hunt, but located nothing. The "attack" was apparently bogus as no British submarines operated in the area. The "torpedoes" were probably porpoises.

  16 Apr 19410540-055535° 26'N, 7° 14'WA shadow was sighted at 5,000 metres, it was identified as a battleship, escorted by two destroyers, on a 240° course. The submarine could not close the range to carry out an attack, but elected not to make an enemy report as these ships were going to pass outside the patrol areas of Italian submarines. These were most probably the battleship HMS Queen Elizabeth, escorted by three destroyers HMS Velox, HMS Wrestler and HMS Fury (local escort), which had sailed at 2205 hours on the 15th from Gibraltar for Freetown.
