ULTRA sigint had learnt that Italian submarines Atropo, Bragadino, Corridoni and Zoea used to transport stores to Derna were passing through 33°20’ N, 22°40’ E. | ||
| 27 Jun 1942 | 1505 | 33° 49'N, 22° 33'E | At 1505 hours, a submarine was sighted and believed to be Atropo. Zoea had instructions not to attack submarines encountered.

| 2. | Zoea (ZE) | 29 Jun 1942 | 0015 | Derna | 2 Jul 1942 | 1100 | Taranto | 1047 | Return trip from supply mission to Derna. ULTRA sigint had learnt that Italian submarines Atropo, Bragadino, Corridoni and Zoea used to transport stores to Derna were passing through 33°20’N, 22°40’E. In fact, they were informed that Zoea was due in Derna on the 27th, but it was on her return trip that the interception was made. | |
| 29 Jun 1942 | 1220 | 34° 00'N, 22° 50'E (0) Approximately. | At 1220 hours, a German Red Cross aircraft was sighted and exchanged recognition signals. | |||||||

At 1500 hours, an aircraft was sighted making a long circle at low altitude and it made an attack from the sun. It tried strafing the submarine without managing to hit her. Zoea opened fire with her machine guns and even with her deck gun. The aircraft was believed hit and flew away. This was Maryland 'P' (No. 364) of 203 Squadron piloted by Pilot Officer E. Boyce, on a special search for enemy craft south of Crete. At 1629C hours, it sighted the submarine on the surface, steering 280° at 8 knots. Zoea opened fire but her shots fell astern.

| 6 Aug 1942 | 1830 | (0) Tobruk harbour. | At 1830 hours, Zoea had unloaded her stores when a heavy air raid by the USAAF was witnessed. A heavy bomb fell a few metres from the conning tower on the starboard side, while a pontoon loaded with ammunition suffered a direct hit 200 meters away. The submarine suffered some damage from the near-miss but this was not noticed at the moment. Following the explosions of the ammunition on the pontoon, the First Officer ordered the submarine away. During the air raid TV. Erler was ashore and could not rejoin the submarine before 2000 hours. | |||||||
| 6 Aug 1942 | 2005+ | (0) Outside Tobruk harbour. | At 2005 hours, the submarine ran aground on a shoal 30 meters from shore as she was maneuvering between obstructions to leave the harbour. Initial efforts to free the submarine failed. At 2300 hours, another heavy air raid occurred and a salvo of bombs fell in the sea 500 meters from the submarine while a second salvo fell on land some 700 meters away. At 0900 hours on the 7th, a tug arrived and the submarine was freed at the first attempt" At 0930, she returned to harbour to check for damage. | |||||||

She rescued twenty Germans whose aircraft had been shot down and landed them at Tobruk. | |
| 3 Nov 1942 | 0625-1200 | During the period of 0625-1200 hours, many German aircraft were seen. Ascianghi exchanged recognition signals on eight occasions during the morning. | ||||||||
| 3 Nov 1942 | 1330+ | (0) Off the Libyan coast. | At 1330 hours, a formation of eighteen German transport aircraft (probably Junkers 52) were observed flying to Libya. One of them suddenly began to gradually lose altitude and crashed into the sea. Ascianghi rushed in heavy seas and managed to pick up twenty German survivors, including several wounded. They were later landed at Tobruk. At 1600 hours, two Germans seaplanes were sighted, apparently looking for survivors. The submarine signalled them that she had picked them up. | |||||||
| 3 Nov 1942 | 1600+ | (0) Off the Libyan coast. | After 1600 hours, the submarine Zoea was encountered. She was also proceeding to Tobruk and they exchanged recognition signals. | |||||||
| 3 Nov 1942 | 1828 | (0) Off the Libyan coast. | At 1828 hours, a hospital ship was sighted. | |||||||
| 3 Nov 1942 | 1840 | (0) Off the Libyan coast. | At 1840 hours, a submarine that could not be identified was sighted. Ascianghi turned away. | |||||||
| 3 Nov 1942 | 2307 | (0) Off the Libyan coast. | At 2307 hours, an hospital ship was sighted. | |||||||
| 12. | Ascianghi (AS) | 4 Nov 1942 | 1740 | Tobruk | 7 Nov 1942 | 1300 | Augusta | 606 | Return trip from Tobruk. At 1900 hours on the 6th, had been ordered to patrol off Pantelleria but was short on fuel. | |
| 6 Nov 1942 | 0510 | At 0510 hours, an hospital ship was sighted. | ||||||||
| 13. | Ascianghi (AS) | 7 Nov 1942 | 1900 | Augusta | 8 Nov 1942 | 1920 | Trapani | 220 | Passage Augusta-Trapani. Uneventful. | |
| 14. | Ascianghi (AS) | 9 Nov 1942 | 0217 | Trapani | 18 Nov 1942 | 0957 | Naples | 1580 | Patrolled off Bougie and Philippeville, between 37°00'N and 37°20'N, 05°55'E and 06°35'E. Then refit at Naples. | |
| 12 Nov 1942 | 0030 | 36° 44'N, 5° 10'E | At 0030 hours, a corvette was sighted. Ascianghi crash-dived at dropped to the bottom at a depth of 57 metres. | |||||||
| 12 Nov 1942 | 0800+ 0855 (e) | (e) 36° 43'N, 5° 12'E (0) Off Bougie. | At 0800 hours, Ascianghi had dived to the bottom, which this proved very muddy and, she became stuck. As efforts were being made to free the submarine by blowing the ballasts, she was sighted by the frigate HMS Spey at 0810A hours. She was also sighted at 0855 hours by the destroyer ORP Blyskawica which was oiling from the tanker Dewdale (8,265 GRT, built 1941). At 0900 hours, the Polish destroyer observed two trawlers and three sloops (one of them probably HMS Spey) depth charging the submarine and joined the hunt, dropping four depth charges at 0912 hours. At 0951 hours, ORP Blyskawica followed up with two more attacks, delivering five depth charges each time. Ascianghi reported about 100 depth-charges dropped in all but managed to escape by going down to a depth of 70-80 meters. Since the harbour and anchorage were under heavy air attacks during the day (1110-1153, 1440, 1521 hours), it is possible that the submarine mistook these for depth-charges. | |||||||
| 15 Nov 1942 | 0342 | 36° 45'N, 5° 11'E | At 0339 hours, Ascianghi was about 4 miles from then entrance of the harbour of Bougie, when the stern lookout spotted a dark mass. At first, it was believed it could be a submarine but then was identified as a CALEDON class cruiser with two destroyers. At 0342 hours, she fired two torpedoes from her stern tubes at a range of 3,300 metres, but it was then realised that the cruiser was proceeding at a slower speed than estimated, causing them to miss ahead. After 167 seconds, an explosion was heard, which T.V. Rino Erler assumed to be that of the torpedo having hit another vessel. Immediately after, G.M. Ansaldo drew Erler's attention to another ship in the vicinity. At 0346.5 hours, the newcomer was identified as a cruiser of the LEANDER class and two torpedoes were fired (533mm, Italian type, speed 46 knots), aimed at it, at a range of 700 metres. Both torpedoes hit, after 30 seconds with a loud explosion,followed shortly after by a third explosion, believed to have been caused by a boiler blowing up. The vessel was broken in two and sank. The "cruiser" was actually the minesweeper HMS Algerine (J213, 1,040 tons, Lieutenant Commander Wilfrid Alan Cooke, RN) ). Survivors confirmed that she was struck by two torpedoes and sank in five minutes. Nine officers and seventy-one ratings were killed or missing. Thirty-two survivors were picked up by the minesweeper HMS Cadmus. Seventeen survivors were picked up by H.M. ships HMS Alarm, HMS Hoy and HMS Mull. Four died of their wounds. | |||||||

| 22 Feb 1943 | 2300 | 32° 03'N, 16° 04'E | At 2300 hours, an escorted convoy was sighted at a distance of 5,000 metres. Ascianghi closed to about 2,000 meters and dived at 2307 hours but lost contact. | |||||||
| 2 Mar 1943 | 0231 | 31° 47'N, 16° 43'E | At 0227 hours, the First Officer, who was Officer of the Watch, alerted T.V. Erler that he had a destroyer and an undetermined number of merchant ships in his sights, steering 300°, 12 knots. At 0231 hours, three torpedoes (533mm) were fired from the bow tubes at a range of 800 metres aimed at the destroyer described as of the JERVIS classs. A fourth torpedo misfired. Ascianghi immediately crash-dived. After 40.5 seconds, she had reached a depth of 16 metres, when a double explosion was heard followed by a third one after 73 seconds. This led Erler to believe he had hit the destroyer with two torpedoes and a merchant ship behind with the third. Unfortunately, Allied records have not confirmed these claims. | |||||||
| 4 Mar 1943 | 0755 | At 0755 hours, a Blenheim bomber was sighted at a distance of 5,000 metres. Ascianghi dived. | ||||||||
