The CB class of midget submarines saw service with the navies of Italy, Germany and Romania during WW2 and captured examples were later used by Yugoslavia and the Soviet Union.
One submarine is preserved in the Croatian Technical Museum in Zagreb and another one is in Trieste - the Civico Museo di guerra per la pace "Diego de Henriquez”.
After the Allied armistice with Italy in September 1943, the five Black Sea submarines (CB-1, CB-2, CB-3, CB-4 and CB-6) were transferred to the Royal Romanian Navy. They were all scuttled in the Black Sea in August 1944, after King Michael's Coup.
Four of the Black Sea submarines (CB-1, CB-2, CB-3 and CB-4) were captured by Soviet forces in August 1944 and commissioned on 20 October as TM-4, TM-5, TM-6 and TM-7. They were stricken on 16 February 1945 and subsequently scrapped. |
