It's About the Journey Not Just the Destination
The Royal Romanian Air Force operated a small number of Messerschmitt Bf 110 fighters during the Second World War. Approximately 12 110Cs, 2 110Es and 9 110Fs were used.
From December 1944, approximately 14 Messerschmitt Bf 110G-4 night fighters were provided to the Royal Hungarian Air Force.
Perla was the lead ship of her class of submarines built for the Italian Regina Marina. On June 6, 1942, Perla launched two torpedoes at the British corvette HMS Hyacinth. Both missed and Hyacinth counter attacked with depth charges. Suffering serious damage, Captain Ventura ordered her to surface and be scuttled. Damage to the Kingston Valves caused by the attack meant that she flooded very slowly. This provided time for the British to board and prevent her sinking.
Repaired and commissioned into the British Royal Navy she was renamed HMS P712.
While in British service she was used to evaluate the level of development of Italian submarines.
In 1943, she was transferred to the Hellenic Navy and renamed Matrozos. She served until 1947 when she was sold and scrapped.
