The Italian submarine had been sighted at 1215 hours, steering 231° at 9 knots. Due to overstrain and fatigue, Norman had forgotten to order the reload of the torpedo tubes after an attack on the light cruiser Emanuele Filiberto Duca D'Aosta earlier in the day. A single torpedo was reloaded under 8 minutes and fired at 1221 hours at a range of 600-800 yards. It was believed to have missed the target by only 10-15 feet. | |||||||

Hydrophone effect was heard but nothing could observed through the periscope but depth charges explosions were heard close. Wolframio was later ordered to go to the Bay of Djidjelli, but could not comply as it was 110 miles away and the submarine had not had an opportunity to fully.charge her batteries Finally, at 1330 hours on the 15th, she was ordered to check the Bay of Bougie but sighted nothing. | |||||||
| 20 Nov 1942 | 0645 | (0) Near Point C of Cagliari. | At 0645 hours, the submarine Giada was encountered and exchanged recognition signals. | |||||||

| 7 Dec 1942 | 2316 | The submarine was informed about a German aircraft shot down and at 2316 hours arrived in the presumed area and began searching. At 0417 hours on the 8th, nothing could be found and Wolframio returned to her patrol area. | ||||||||
| 8 Dec 1942 | 0658 | 37° 21'N, 8° 24'E | At 0632 hours, a vessel was detected with the hydrophones. At 0658 hours, Wolframio came to periscope depth and observed an enemy destroyer. The forward tubes were not yet ready to fire, when the destroyer passed some 500 metres from the submarine. At 0730 hours, the target disappeared over the horizon. | |||||||
| 10 Dec 1942 | 2320 | At 2320 hours, an aircraft dropped three flares over the submarine. Wolframio dived. | ||||||||

| 13 Dec 1942 | 1725 | 37° 51'N, 6° 56'E | At 1725 hours, four destroyers were sighted at a distance of 2,000 metres. Wolframio turned away to fire her stern torpedoes, but the distance had closed rapidly and the track angle did not permit a good shot. The submarine was forced to submerge. | |||||||

| 9 Sep 1943 | 0800 | The submarine Jalea came into view and the two commanders discussed the situation. Finally, Ciro Menotti proceeded to Brindisi while Jalea returned to Taranto. | ||||||||
| 9 Sep 1943 | 1800 1900 (e) | (e) 39° 51'N, 19° 04'E | HM submarine Unshaken fired a warning shot across the bow of Ciro Menotti. The Italian submarine replied with a burst of machine gun fire before recognising the identity of the British submarine, T.V. Manunta later explaining that he had mistaken Unshaken for a German U-boat. The British submarine took one Italian officer and two ratings aboard while a British officer and three other ranks boarded the Italian submarine. Manunta was told to proceed to Malta [the exchange of gunfire is not mentioned in the Italian patrol report). | |||||||
