Italy:
Reefer ship Asmara passing through the Canale Navigabile, Taranto, 1930s. During World War II, she served for a time as a "floating refrigerator" for the garrison of the Aegean island of Leros, and also served on occasion as an accommodation ship for the men of the Xa Flottiglia MAS, during the lead-up to the raid on Souda Bay and that of Alexandria.
She sank on 11 August 1943, a day after being torpedoed by HMS Unshaken; of the 157-strong crew, two died and twelve were wounded.
A reefer ship is a refrigerated cargo ship typically used to transport perishable cargo, which require temperature-controlled handling, such as fruits, meat, vegetables, dairy products, and similar items.

The North Carolina-class battleship USS Washington (BB+56). Designed in the 1930s with a Washington displacement of 35,000 tons, she entered service in 1941 and in 1945 she displaced approximately 45,000 tons although she maintained her top speed of 28 knots and could act as an escort for aircraft carriers bristling with anti-aircraft artillery.

#OTD in 1945, U-858 was taken over by a U.S. Navy crew. The German captain had surrendered the sub at sea four days earlier and was then ordered to proceed to Fort Miles, Delaware. The transfer was watched over by a Sikorsky HNS-I, the first helicopter to enter U.S. military service.
