| Argo (AO, I.26) | 17 May 1942 | 0700 | Cagliari | 17 May 1942 | 1208 | Cagliari | 25 | Trials. | ||
| 1. | Argo (AO, I.26) | 20 May 1942 | 1800 | Cagliari | 30 May 1942 | 1100 | Cagliari | 1165 | Patrolled area between 37°20'N and 37°40'N, and between 02°20'E and 03°00'E, northwest of Cap Caxine (Algeria) to attack Malta traffic. On 28th May was ordered to move 50 miles east and 10 miles north. Sustained three aerial attacks and was badly damaged. | |
| 27 May 1942 | 2350 | 37° 40'N, 2° 10'E (e) 37° 38'N, 2° 05'E | At 2350 hours, a lookout spotted an aircraft making a run from the stern under the moonlight. Four depth charges straddled the submarine, one actually hitting the forward port hydroplane, and injuring one man in the forward torpedo room. The torpedo tube caps had been opened and three torpedoes had to be ejected. The submarine remained on the surface firing off its antiaircraft machine guns and 19 100mm rounds at the aircraft identified as a Sunderland, which now circled at a distance of 1,000 to 1,500 metres. This was actually Catalina 'C' (AJ162) of 202 Squadron based at Gibraltar and piloted by Flight Lieutenant R.Y. Powell. It had detected the submarine by radar at 6-7 miles and sighted the submarine at 300 yards, and identifying at as of the Italian BALILLA class. It had strafed the submarine releasing eight depth charges from a height of only 50 feet. | |||||||
| 28 May 1942 | 1423 1415-1642 (e) | 37° 46'N, 2° 47'E (e) 37° 59'N, 2° 08'E | At 1355 hours, an aircraft was sighted coming from the stern at a distance of 6,000 metres. T.V. Gigli elected to fight on the surface. This was Sunderland "R" of 10 Squadron (RAAF) piloted by Flight Lieutenant H.G. Pockley. At 1423 hours, it dropped a salvo of four depth charges from a height of 50 metres and strafed the submarine. The submarine was near-missed. The aircraft came for a second attack and at 1427 hours dropped another four depth charges (others failed to release) and was met by heavy flak, it took several hits but suffered minor damages. In all Argo fired 17 rounds of 100mm and 1,200 round of 13.2mm but a depth charge lodged in the bow section but failed to explode. It prevented the submarine from diving from fear it would detonate and she made an SOS. The Sunderland came for a third attack and dropped another three depth charges. At 1830 hours, the Sunderland left the scene and was replaced by Hudson 'V' of 233 Squadron. | |||||||
| 28 May 1942 | 1820 1841 (e) | 37° 55'N, 3° 30'E (e) 38° 09'N, 3° 27'E (0) Approximately. | At 1820 hours, an aircraft attacked Argo with four depth charges. This was Hudson "V" (V9168) of 233 Squadron, piloted by Flying Officer Paisey. The charges failed astern. The submarine was strafed but maintained heavy antiaircraft fire. She was believed to have been damaged and the light cruiser HMS Charybdis and the destroyers HMS Westcott and HMS Wrestler were sailed from Gibraltar at 2000 hours on the 28th but failed to locate her. | |||||||
| 30 May 1942 | 1030 | (0) Anchored at buoy off entrance of Cagliari. | Argo had anchored at 0715 hours off Cagliari as she had been told not to enter the habour because of an unexploded bomb. At 1030 hours, the submarine was visited by Admiral Legnani and Gruppo commander C.F.Criscuolo who congratulated the crew for their escape. | |||||||

| 2. | Argo (AO, I.26) | 13 Sep 1942 | 1709 | Cagliari | 28 Sep 1942 | 1158 | Cagliari | 1320,5 | Sailed with Alabastro via (1) Point C (2) 37°08'N, 04°10'E (3) 37°08'N, 02°40'E for a patrol off Algiers between 37°00'N and 37°30'N, and between 02°00'E and 02°20'E. | |
| 14 Sep 1942 | 1419 | 37° 30'N, 5° 14'E | At 1419 hours, Argo sighted a submarine believed to be Alabastro who did not return from patrol. | |||||||
| 14 Sep 1942 | 1610 | 37° 24'N, 4° 58'E | At 1610 hours, Argo sighted a Sunderland and crash-dived. This was probably the same which attacked Alabastro a few minutes later. | |||||||
| 14 Sep 1942 | 2000 | 37° 21'N, 4° 50'E | At 2000 hours, an illuminated vessel was sighted proceeding to Algeria. It was probably a Vichy ship and was left alone. | |||||||
| 15 Sep 1942 | 0502 | 37° 14'N, 2° 38'E | At 0502 hours, a submarine was sighted on a parallel course and Alabastro and Argo dived to avoid it. There is little doubt that Alabastro had been sunk the previous day. No other submarine appears to have operated in this area. | |||||||
| 24 Sep 1942 | 2201 | 37° 14'N, 2° 15'E | At 2201 hours, a Sunderland was sighted and Argo dived four minutes later. | |||||||

| 3. | Argo (AO, I.26) | 29 Oct 1942 | 0225 | Cagliari | 31 Oct 1942 | 0515 | Cagliari | 226 | Patrolled off La Galite in 37°55'N, 08°35'E, on a patrol line with Asteria, Porfido and Nichelio, then recalled. Uneventful. | |
| 29 Oct 1942 | 0923 | 38° 13'N, 8° 47'E | At 0923 hours, three Italian aircraft were sighted and exchanged recognition signals. | |||||||
| 4. | Argo (AO, I.26) | 7 Nov 1942 | 0440 | Cagliari | 13 Nov 1942 | 1715 | Cagliari | 812 | Sailed for a patrol between 37°50'N and 38°00'N, and between 06°40'E and 07°10'E on an E/W axis. At 0800 hours on the 8th, she was ordered to move 60 miles to west. However, at 2100 hours the same evening, she was ordered to the Gulf of Philippeville, between 37°20'N and the Algerian coast, and between 06°10'E and 07°10'E. During the evening, she was ordered to the Bay of Bougie. | |
| 8 Nov 1942 | 0340-0445 | 37° 56'N, 7° 00'E | Between 0340 and 0445 hours, about fifty flashes were sighted to the south (probably from Bone) on the horizon. The submarine dived at 0445 and continued her observations from periscope depth. | |||||||
| 8 Nov 1942 | 0805 | 37° 53'N, 6° 35'E | At 0805 hours, a submarine was seen and was assumed to be Italian. Argo refrained from attack. | |||||||
| 8 Nov 1942 | 0908 | 37° 54'N, 6° 28'E | An unidentified aircraft was seen and the submarine dived. | |||||||
| 8 Nov 1942 | 0929 | 37° 54'N, 6° 28'E | An unidentified aircraft was seen. It was probably Italian. | |||||||
| 8 Nov 1942 | 0959 | 37° 56'N, 6° 30'E | An unidentified aircraft was seen and the submarine dived. | |||||||
| 8 Nov 1942 | 1935 | 38° 01'N, 6° 14'E | At 1935 hours, an unidentified aircraft with a red light was observed. At 2125 hours, the submarine was ordered to the Gulf of Philippeville, which it it reached at 2130 hours on the following evening, but nothing was sighted. | |||||||
| 10 Nov 1942 | 0250 | 37° 05'N, 6° 42'E | At 0250 hours on 10th November, an unknown submarine was seen, but it was probably Italian and no action was taken. | |||||||
| 10 Nov 1942 | 0450 | 37° 05'N, 6° 39'E | At 0450 hours on 10th November, an unknown submarine was seen but it was probably Italian and no action was taken. | |||||||
| 11 Nov 1942 | 0814 | 37° 10'N, 6° 44'E | At 0814 hour on 11th November 1942, the submarine was at periscope depth when an aircraft was sighted but no action was taken. | |||||||
| 12 Nov 1942 | 0405 | (0) Bay of Bougie. | At 0405 hours on 12th November, a steamer on fire and screened by three corvettes was observed moving slowly at 2,000 metres. Argo was in very shallow waters (ca. 20-25 meters) and her echo-sounding gear had just broke down. At 0424 hours, she had closed the steamer and prepared to attack with her bow torpedoes, when a second overlapping steamer appeared at a distance of 3-4,000 meters, the submarine then maneuvered to get into a good attacking position. | |||||||
| 12 Nov 1942 | 0601 0505 (e) | 36° 42'N, 5° 10'E | At 0601 hours on 12th November, Argo observed two overlapping ships at a distance of 1,000-2,000 metres in the Bay of Bougie. Four bow torpedoes (533mm, G7e) were fired and three hits were claimed. The targets were the auxiliary antiaircraft ship HMS Tynwald (2,376 tons, built 1941) standing by the monitor HMS Roberts who was damaged by two bombs the previous day. In fact, two torpedoes had struck HMS Tynwald and she quickly sank in 7 fathoms of water. Three officers and twenty-one ratings were killed, three ratings wounded. Survivors were picked up by HMS Roberts and HMS Samphire (twenty officers and 175 ratings were repatriated on Strathnaver and Ocean Volga). The attack had been a very daring one, as there were some fourteen escort vessels in the anchorage. Karanja was sunk by air attack at about the same time. Shortly after, Argo turned and fired her two stern torpedoes (533mm, G7e) at the same targets from a distance of 2,000 metres. One hit was claimed but they had both missed. The target was probably the monitor HMS Roberts next to the sinking HMS Tynwald. The submarine managed to reach deep waters without interference. At 2325 hours, she received the order to return to base. Some sources have attributed the sinking of the troopship Awatea to her, but she was damaged by three bomb hits at 1700X hours on the 11th in position 310; - Cape Carbon - 2 miles and had been abandoned. At 1300 hours on the 12th, five Italian torpedo bombers attacked the anchorage and one hit the Tynwald, but she had already been abandoned. A surfaced submarine was sighted. HMS Spey and four escorts (including ORP Blyscawica, HMS Rother, probably HMS Bramham? and ?) went on an A/S hunt but, on the way, were attacked by aircraft and all were damaged by near misses and suffered some casualties. | |||||||
| 5. | Argo (AO, I.26) | 16 Nov 1942 | 1840 | Cagliari | 24 Nov 1942 | 1209 | Cagliari | 718 | Patrolled between 37°00'N and 37°20'N, and between 07°00'E and 07°20'E, on a barrage line with Avorio. During the night of 19/20th November, she was ordered to reconnoitre Philippeville (Skikda). | |
| 22 Nov 1942 | 0240 | (0) Off Philippeville. | At 0240 hours on 22nd November, Argo encountered the submarine Avorio and exchanged recognition signals. | |||||||

| 6. | Argo (AO, I.26) | 28 Dec 1942 | 1704 | Cagliari | 8 Jan 1943 | 0930 | Cagliari | 812 | Patrolled between 37°20'N and the Algerian coast, and between 04°00'E and 05°00'E, on a barrage line with Giada and Dandolo. On 1st January, her area was switched to between 37°30'N and the Algerian coast, and between 06°00'E and 07°00'E. | |
| 30 Dec 1942 | 2123 | 37° 13'N, 4° 29'E | At 2123 hours on 30th December, a torpedo boat was observed at a distance of 1,500 metres and appeared to be proceeding at 14 knots to ram the submarine. Argo dived but was not attacked. | |||||||
| 1 Jan 1943 | 0434 | 37° 16'N, 4° 33'E | At 0434 hours on 1st January 1943, two steamers, escorted by three corvettes, were observed at a distance of 5-6,000 metres. The submarine closed to attack, but a corvette turned toward her and she was forced to dive at 0440 hours. | |||||||
| 2 Jan 1943 | 0007 | 37° 24'N, 5° 22'E | At 0007 hours, a warship, which could not be properly identified, was seen at a distance of 1,500 metres. It could have been a submarine, a submarine chaser similar to the Italian Albatros or even an MTB. The submarine readied her bow tubes but the target turned away. | |||||||
| 7 Jan 1943 | 0059 | 37° 03'N, 5° 12'E | At 0059 hours on 7th January 1943, two cruisers, one of them of the SOUTHAMPTON class, and four destroyers were seen at a distance of 2,000 metres on a 270° course. The submarine fired a salvo of four torpedoes (533mm) from her bow tubes and claimed one hit, but this was not confirmed. Four depth charges were dropped but Argo escaped by going down to a depth of 100 metres. | |||||||
| 7 Jan 1943 | 1842 | 37° 49'N, 7° 04'E | Two unidentified aircraft were seen. | |||||||
