You cannot compare a WWII Italian submarine with a German uboat. The Italian submarines could not dive deep nor dive fast and had much lower success than their German allies. But all in all, they were wonderfull boats.

il duce could have used these to blockade the suez

Regardless of any submarine, it takes nerve to crew one.  I don't know if I could do it. It's dangerous enough in peace time.

MokomaSusi is right. Italian submarines needed too much time to dive and their towers were too easy to be seen. Last german submarine were very quick diving. I always heard these by my father who fight in a submarine crew during WWII. and he also said italian submarines were not good for a sea like mediterranean. hi all

[tcrownprince]

AWESOME

[kolbpilot]

I always thought the Italian submarines were quite stylish looking. But when all said & done, their German counterparts at the time out performed them & the Italian subs were relagated to secondary offenses.

[MokomaSusi]

Italian submarine conning towers looked very modern. Almost like russian Kilo-class.

What i have read italian and japanese boats were too big for their own good... it did take too long to dive etc.
