  1 Jul 19400458
(0) 30 miles SW of Pantelleria.
At 0455 hours, a shadow was sighted, which appeared to be a submarine very similar to Fieramosca. At 0458 hours, one torpedo (533mm) was fired from a bow tube at an estimated distance of 1,600 metres. It missed. This was probably HMS Proteus (Lt. Cdr. R.T. Gordon-Duff, RN), which had left her patrol south of Malta and was on her way to Oran to participate in Operation CATAPULT, but she did not observe the attack.
  1 Jul 19400500
