Italy:
Damage suffered by two 203 mm guns of the Italian heavy cruiser Bolzano, struck by a 6 inch shell fired by HMS Neptune during the Battle of Punta Stilo
At 1605 h, during the Battle of Punta Stilo (off Calabria for our British friends), the heavy cruiser Bolzano (3a Divisione) was struck by three 6 inch shells fired by either HMS Neptune or HMS Orion. One of these shells struck the right 203 mm gun barrel of Turret no. 2 (turret B in RN terminology), roughly a meter away from the mouth, causing severe damage and exposing the liner, with even the left gun barrel being deeply penetrated by splinters. The hit also damaged the aim devices of the turret and put its 7,20 m range finder out of action; a seaman in the turret was killed by a splinter that had gotten through an opening.
Despite the damage, the turret was not put out of action, and both guns kept firing. Interestingly enough, when the Bolzano was repaired, it was attempted to fire once with the struck gun, and it broke in half (a section of the broken half is currently kept at the Museo Navale di La Spezia). The other gun barrel was replaced.
Torpedo boat Partenope at Tripoli in the afternoon of 21 april 1941, after the Royal Navy bombarded the port; the paint on the 100 mm guns' barrels has melted due to the rapid fire, and the ship's flag is at half-mast as the commander was killed in the attack
The commander of BETASOM, Capitano di Vascello Romolo Polacchini, reviews the crew of the submarine Leonardo da Vinci, before its departure for a mission.
BETASOM was the base at Bordeaux of the Italian submarines operating in the Atlantic Ocean. A total of thirty-one boats, at one point or another, operated from there, and between August 1940 and September 1943 they sank around 650'000 grt.
Of these, the Leonardo da Vinci was the most successful in terms of tonnage sunk, as before its loss in May 1943 it sank 120'243 grt, making it not only the most successful Italian submarine, but the most successful non-German submarine of the conflict.
The officer saluting back is the submarine's commander, Capitano di Corvetta Luigi Longanesi Cattani, who would survive the war and would eventually reach the rank of Ammiraglio di Squadra (Vice Admiral) in the postwar Marina Militare.

Italy:
Destroyer Francesco Mimbelli (D561). Behind her is Libeccio (F 572), a Maestrale-class frigate, and in the background are two San Giorgio-class LPDs - it looks like San Marco (L 9893) on the left, so San Giorgio (L 9892) must be on the right.

Germany:
Panserschiff Admiral Graf Spee and battleship Gneisenau in Kiel, 1938.
Heavy cruisers Admiral Hipper and Admiral Scheer leave a Norwegian fjord escorted by a squadron of destroyers, photographed from the battleship Tirpitz, 1942
Luftwaffe airmen man the rails of a heavy combat "Siebel" ferry, Lake Ladoga, 13 August 1942. These men were part of Einsatzstab Fähre Ost or "Eastern Ferry Operations Staff". They were a German naval detachment that was Luftwaffe operated, and operated on Lake Ladoga along with Finnish and Italian navy elements to disrupt Soviet supply and operations on the lake, as well as Leningrad's only supply line "The Road of Life". These heavy duty "Siebel" combat ferries commonly plied the waters of Lake Ladoga from 1942-43.

IJN:
Yakumo (八雲, Eight Clouds) was an armored cruiser built for the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) in the late 1890s. As Japan lacked the industrial capacity to build such warships herself, the ship was built in Germany. She participated in most of the naval battles of the Russo-Japanese War of 1904–05, and was lightly damaged during the Battle of the Yellow Sea and the Battle of Tsushima. Yakumo saw no combat during World War I and began the first of many training cruises in 1917, although she was not officially reclassified as a training ship until 1931.
