Wartime history

Capture and fate

The Italian torpedo boat (originally classified as destroyer) was in a quite bad shape when captured by the Kriegsmarine in September 1943. TA22 (former Giuseppe Missori) got its forward 10,2 cm guns replaced with additional 2 cm anti aircraft guns and was part of the 2nd Escort Flotilla. It was heavily damaged by fighter bombers on 25.06.1944 and therefore was decommissioned on 11.08.1944, the wreck was blown up on 03.05.1945 and scrapped in 1949.
