Dido Class Light AA Cruiser HMS Argonaut pictured prior to her journey to Algiers...On December 14th 1942, Argonaut was heavily damaged when the Italian Submarine RN Lazzaro Mocenigo struck the Cruiser with two torpedoes from a spread of four, causing serious damage. The bow and stern sections of the Cruiser were effectively blown off and the steering wrecked. Though only three crew members were killed, the damage was so severe that German authorities mistakenly believed Argonaut had been sunk. She was patched up and limped to Algiers for more temporary repairs, she then sailed for the United States, where she underwent a seven-month reconstruction at Philadelphia Naval Yard, completed in November 1943.
