ww2dbaseIn 1934, Trieste joined the Italian Navy Third Naval Division as the flagship. During the Spanish Civil War, she escorted Italian ships in the Mediterranean Sea with her sister ships. In 1940, she participated in the Battle of Cape Spartivento. On 21 Nov 1941, she was hit by a torpedo launched by British submarine Utmost, which brought her out of commission under repair until mid-1942. On 10 Apr 1943, while in port at La Maddalena on the island of Sardinia, Italy, she was attacked by B-24 bombers operated by the United States Army Air Forces; she sank after being wrecked by multiple bomb hits. After the war, she was sold to Spain where she was originally intended to be repaired and converted to a light aircraft carrier, but the project was eventually scrapped.

I concur, Capt. Lee Maxwell piloting a B-17, flew in the mission to get the Trieste. The mission was flown on Apr. 10th 1943. This was a secondary target as the first was covered by WX. Lee said the British Navy sent a case of Scotch over to their base after the sinking!

The Trieste was sunk by a single bomb from a B-17 that went right down the stack. I know because my father was the bombadier who dropped it
