Italy:
Torpedo-boat Pegaso, in 1942

Pegaso was an Orsa-class torpedo-boat; derived from the earlier Spica-class, they had a longer endurance and had better ASW armament. During her career, she had a confirmed submarine kill (HMS Thorn), and two probable kills (HMS Undaunted and HMS Upholder, even though recent research on the wreck seems to make it more likely that the latter sank in a minefield off Lybia).

In the picture we can see in the middle, on the deckhouse, one of the twin 20 mm mounts, and further aft the single 100 mm aft mount. On the sides, the several German-type depth charge launchers (called "Modello G", G meaning German) can be seen.

USN:
On April 27, 1956, a Sikorsky H-34 and USS Corporal conducted the very first emergency landing of a helicopter onto a submarine. During naval exercises off Key West in April 1956, a US Navy Sikorsky H-34 helicopter, serial number 51, made an emergency landing on the Corporal's deck because it experienced serious mechanical problems during an anti-submarine warfare exercise in which the Corporal had been serving as the opposing force. After close cooperation by radio and hasty preparations by the submariners, the distressed helicopter managed to touch down safely aft of the submarine's sail. The incident marked "the first time a helicopter made an emergency landing on a submarine." At the time of that emergency landing, the submarine was under the command of Lieutenant Commander E. O. Proctor, and those aboard the helicopter were Commander W. F. Culley and Lieutenant J. K. Johnson
