During the Battle of the Atlantic, Italian submarines sank several Allied warships, contributing to a total of approximately 20,000 tons. Notable sinkings included the British destroyers HMS Hurricane and HMS Daring, as well as merchant vessels that supported Allied operations. These actions were part of Italy's broader strategy to disrupt Allied supply lines during World War II. However, the overall impact of Italian submarines in the Atlantic was limited compared to their German counterparts.
