USN, RAN:
HMAS Warramunga (FFH-152) engages ex-USS New Orleans (LPH-11), 10 July 2010, with her 5-inch gun during a surface engagement as part of Rim of the Pacific Exercise RIMPAC 2010. E x-New Orleans was eventually sunk by USS McClusky (FFG-41), USS Freedom (LCS-1) and other ships during RIMPAC 2010. RIMPAC is a biennial, multinational exercise designed to strengthen regional partnerships and improve interoperability. Australian Defense Forces photo and US Navy photos

The ship first sustained direct hits by at least seven Harpoon missiles. After the Harpoon strikes, B-52s from 2d Bomb Wing and 5th Bomb Wing dropped five 2000-pound GBU-10 precision bombs. As the ship began to list, a joint force of the five participating nations – United States, Japan, Australia, Canada and France - struck the ship with the majority hitting above the water line. The most damage came from the Australian HMAS Warramunga (FFH 152) who hit with three of the seven Harpoon and over 70 five-inch shells. New Orleans rolled on her side and sank at about 6:15 pm 70 miles north-west of Kauai.

Italy & Germany:
Survivors of the German auxiliary cruiser Atlantis on board the Italian submarine Enrico Tazzoli, December 1941

The Enrico Tazzoli was a Calvi-class ocean-going submarine of the Regia Marina, built in 1935. Improving upon the Balilla-class, those were double-hulled boats that ended up being a success: robust, with good seakeeping qualities, with good autonomy and well-armed. They proved well apt at the campaign that was left in the hands of BETASOM, i.e. the attack on isolated, unescorted merchantmen in Caribbean and South American waters. The Tazzoli ended up being the most successful Italian submarine of the war in terms of number of ships sunk, with eighteen victories, and second in terms of tonnage (92'836 GRT).

In December 1941, the three Calvi-class, plus the Luigi Torelli, on the request of the German B.d.U., sailed to relieve the U-Boote that had taken onboard the survivors of the auxiliary cruiser Atlantis, plus those of the refuelling ship Phyton, as the situation onboard the much smaller German boats was dramatic; they took onboard several survivors and brought them back to St. Nazaire.
