Description

Scire was an Italian Adua-class submarine, which served during World War II in the Regia Marina (the Italian Navy).

She was named after the Ethiopian region, where there was a battle between the Italian and Abyssinian troops during the war in Ethiopia in 1936.

She was laid down by the Italian shipbuilder "Odero-Terni-Orlando (OTO)", in La Spezia, on January 30, 1937.

She was launched on January 6, 1938 and was commissioned into "Regia Marina" on April 25, 1938.

During the war, she was modified to carry three mini submarines (SLCs).

Actually she is one of the most famous submarines in the world due to the missions to Gibraltar and Alexandria.
