Coughlan & Sons shipyard, belonging at Navigazione Alta Italia Soc.anon company.

The destroyers tried to attack the submarine, without success. At this wreck, no casualties had been mentioned.
The wreck rests at a depth of 90 meters close to the islet of Arsida in the Saronikos gulf. It sits on the sea bottom, with its bow facing south and its stern to the north. The main part of the ship is there, with some small damages at its superstructure. The anchors are at their position as well. There is a big hole at the left side of the ship's bottom near the stern, in a depth of 85 meters, caused by a torpedo. The biggest damage of the ship has been done at the bow as it is the part that was hit by the torpedoes. The propeller and the rudder are not visible. The entire wreck is covered with sponges and other sea organisms.
The shipwreck was discovered in July, 2003 by Antonis Grafas using a sonar.
