RN:
HMS Eaglet at Brunswick Dock, Liverpool in 1915. She was originally launched as a third-rate ship of the line as HMS Eagle in 1804. Renamed Eaglet while a Royal Navy Reserve training ship so the recently laid down HMS Eagle (aircraft carrier converted from a battleship hull) could take the name.

Italy:
Submarine Ambra (right), with the three watertight cylinders for SLC transport clearly visible, and a Type VIIC German U-Boot at La Spezia, 3 April 1942
The Ambra was an Italian submarine modified as a 'Siluro a Lenta Corsa' carrier; she was the 'avvicinatore' for the raid on Algiers (on 111 December 1942).
The Raid on Algiers took place on 11 December 1942, in the Algiers harbour. Italian manned torpedoes and commando frogmen from the Decima Flottiglia MAS were brought to Algiers aboard the Perla-class submarine Ambra. The participating commandos were captured after setting limpet mines which sank two Allied ships and damaged two more.

RN:
The C in C Eastern Fleet, Admiral Sir James Somerville and Lieut Cdr L W A Bennington DSO, DSC, CO of HMS TALLY HO inspect the damage to submarine in dry dock. Colombo, Ceylon. 9th March 1944
The damage seen is the result of a failed ramming attempt by a Japanese Vessel, despite this the submarine was able to return to port three days later under her own power.

RN:
County class heavy cruiser HMS Dorsetshire, brand new in 1930
Dorsetshire had a reasonably busy war up until her loss - she steamed 92,300 nautical miles during the first 12 months of war. Most of this time was spent on anti-raider duties, although she also provided cover for the attack on Richelieu. She was also at the last battle of the Bismarck. She was sunk on 5th April 1942 by Japanese dive bombers in the Indian Ocean, sustaining 10 direct hits and several near misses.
