I came across this picture of a heavy lift ship transporting 3 SAURO Class submarines.  Does anyone know the name of the heavy lift ship, where were the submarines loaded and when it sailed.  Also where were they being transported to for scrapping and when did they arrive.  Many thanks
Alan

[Manuel Hernandez Lafuente]

It is the Heavy Load Carrier "SEAWAY ALBATROSS" (IMO 9032496) which is now anchored in La Spezia (ITA).

Please Alan, could you confirm me if it is the submarines S519, S520 and S521 or some other.

Thanks, Manuel.

[ALAN]

Good Morning Manuel,

The picture stated the submarines were of the SAURO class which seems this could be correct as 518 is a museum ship in Genoa, 519 decommissioned Apr 2005, 520 in Jun 2010 and 521 in Oct 2003 and have been laid up in La Spezia Naval Base. Wikipedia reported the three were sold for scrap in 2023 but no date.  It seems the SEAWAY ALBATROSS is being used to transport Italian naval ships to Aliaga for scrapping.  I notice as you say it is currently anchored in the harbour off La Spezia with its destination as Aliaga with an ETA of 13 Apr 2024.

Thank you for your help which is much appreciated.

Alan
