Note: HMS Penelope (97) was an Arethusa-class light cruiser of the Royal Navy. She was built by Harland & Wolff (Belfast, Northern Ireland), with the keel being laid down on 30 May 1934. She was launched on 15 October 1935, and commissioned 13 November 1936. On 18 February 1944, Penelope (Capt. G.D. Belben, DSO, DSC, AM, RN) was leaving Naples to return to Anzio area when she was torpedoed at [show location on an interactive map] 40°33'N 13°15'E? / ?40.55°N 13.25°E? / 40.55; 13.25 by the German submarine U-410. A torpedo struck her in the after engine room and was followed sixteen minutes later by another torpedo that hit in the after boiler room, causing her immediate sinking. 415 of the crew, including the captain, went down with the ship. There were 206 survivors. The remarkable point of the attack by U-410 was that the cruiser was making 26 knots when hit. As far as can be ascertained, this is a unique case. In the history of submarine attacks during WWII, no other ship running at such speed was ever successfully attacked.
