Loredan
was laid down at Cantieri Riunti dell'Adriatico and was
launched in 1936. She was sold the year after, and at the
outbreak of World War Two she was requisitioned by the
Italian navy, the Regia Marina.
Under a journey from Cagliari to La Maddelena in a
convoy with the two steamers Entella and Isonzo, she was attacked outside
Sardinia by the British submarine HMS Safari 10. April
1943. Loredan was the first to be hit, and went down
immediately with almost all hands. Isonzo soon followed
suit, while Loredan managed to stay afloat after being
hit, but was finished off the next day by HMS Safari.
The wreck of Loredan rest today on a depth of 50 to 65
meter near Capo Carbonara and Torre e su
Fenogu.
