释义 |
Nereide was a {{sclass-|Nautilus|submarine|||1913}} in the Italian Royal Navy ({{lang-it|Règia Marina}}) during World War I. She was built 1911–1913 at the navy yard at Venice and was sunk in 1915 by the Austro-Hungarian submarine {{SMS|U-5|Austria-Hungary|2|sub=y}} under the command of Georg Ritter von Trapp. Nereide{{'}}s captain, Carlo del Greco posthumously received the Medaglia d'Oro al Valore Militare for his actions when Nereide was sunk. Design and constructionThe Italian Nautilus was designed by Curio Bernardis, later a well-known submarine designer. Nereide{{'}}s hull, like that of her sister ship {{ship|Italian submarine|Nautilus||2}}, was shaped similar to a torpedo boat. She was {{convert|134|ft|4|in|m}} long with a beam of {{convert|14|ft|1|in|m}} and a draft of {{convert|9|ft|4|in|m}}. She was outfitted with two shafts powered by twin {{convert|300|bhp|abbr=on}} Sulzer diesel engines for surface running at up to {{convert|13.2|knots|km/h}}, and twin {{convert|160|hp|abbr=on}} Ansaldo electric motors for a maximum of {{convert|8|knots|km/h}} when submerged. Nereide was armed with two {{convert|17.7|in|mm|-1|adj=on}} bow torpedo tubes and could carry up to 4 torpedoes. She was designed for a complement of 19—2 officers and 17 sailors.[1] Nereide was laid down at the Venice Navy Yard on 1 August 1911, and was launched on 12 July 1913. It is not known when Nereide was commissioned, but it was most likely after her completion on 20 December 1913.[2] Little is known about Nereide{{'}}s service career in the Règia Marina before August 1915. SinkingAfter Italy's entry into World War I, the country's armed forces occupied the island of Pelagosa in the central Adriatic.[3] After scouting reports from the German submarine {{SMS|UB-14||2|sub=y}} and from an Austro-Hungarian reconnaissance aircraft reported a French or Italian submarine—which was, in fact, Nereide—at Pelagosa in early August 1915, the Austro-Hungarian Navy dispatched its submarine {{SMS|U-5|Austria-Hungary|2|sub=y}}, under the command of Georg Ritter von Trapp,[4] from nearby Lissa.[3][5] On the morning of 5 August, Nereide was on the surface, moored under a cliff in the island's harbor.[3] When U-5 surfaced just offshore, Nereide{{'}}s commanding officer, Capitano di Corvetta Carlo del Greco, cast off the lines and maneuvered to get a shot at von Trapp's boat. Nereide launched a torpedo at U-5 but missed, after which del Greco ordered his boat down. U-5 lined up a shot and launched a single torpedo at the slowly submerging target, striking her, and sending her to the bottom with all hands.[6][7] Carlo del Greco received the Medaglia d'Oro al Valore Militare for his actions.[8]{{Location map|Italy|label=|marksize=6|mark=Red_pog.svg|lat_dir=N|lat_deg=42|lat_min=23 |lat_sec=00|lon_dir=E|lon_deg=16|lon_min=16|lon_sec=00|position=right|width=177|float=right|caption=Location of the wreck}} Nereide{{'}}s wreck was located in 1972 at position {{coord|42|23|N|16|16|E|display=inline,title|name=Italian submarine Nereide}}.[2][9]Notes1. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 Gardiner, p. 276. 2. ^1 {{csr|register=MSI|id=6104335|shipname=Nereide |accessdate=10 December 2008 }} 3. ^1 2 Halpern, p. 149. 4. ^Georg Ritter von Trapp was the patriarch of the von Trapp family made famous in The Sound of Music. 5. ^von Trapp, p. 41. 6. ^Stern, pp. 39–40. 7. ^Stern (p. 40) reports 20 men were killed when Nereide went down; Sieche (p. 22) reports a loss of 17. 8. ^Stern, p. 40. 9. ^{{cite Uboat.net|name=Nereide|id=4349|type=1ship|accessdate=10 December 2008}} References{{Reflist}}Bibliography{{Refbegin}}
