RN Luigi Torelli - Globe Trotting Italian Submarine
Very few Axis warships of the Second World War saw service in other navies. Italian ships were Italian, German were German, and Japanese were Japanese. A small number of them saw new life in the post-war era, but they were in the minority.
During the war, only a few ships swapped navies. And a handful of Italian submarines, including Luigi Torelli- the topic of this video -ended up serving all three navies. Torelli is arguably the mos famous one to do so.
Especially with the (possibly fake) story of downing a B-25, near the end of the war.

Luigi Torelli is definitely a candidate for the submarine version of Mr. Worldwide.
what a wild ride for that sub. thanks for shedding light
Actually this sounds like some joke at the bar. "So there was three sailors. A German, An Italian And a Japanese guy ...
I love the Sudmarines from the 1880s -1900s, Italian, Japanese and German.
The Italian navy did very well putting their army and airforce to shame.
Imagine being an axis submarine crew in WWII. Das Boot comes to mind! 😱
What a fascinating subject!
I know you mostly cover metal modern ships ? But is there any chance you try something much much older , like age of sail or previous

How about one time a Japanese submarine got taken out by two tugboats?

Sadly, they were SO good at underwater demolitions, a lot of their ships insisted on trying it despite being designed to operate on the surface...

Americans are good at pizza. Italians are good at selling cars that spend most of their time in the garage.
