Η μεγαλύτερη επιτυχία των εν λόγω πλοίων και συγκεκριμένα της Mas 568 :
......... 568 (Sottotenente Legnani) and 569 (Sottotenente Ferrari) attacked, southwest from Kerch, the heavy cruiser Molotov (“Kirov” class) (2) and naval destroyer Kharkov (“Leningrad” class ), which were enroute to intercept the German transport mission.
The two large Soviet units, commanded by Commodore N.E. Basisty went near the coast, opening fire with their 181, 122 and 100 mm. guns, against objectives situated between Iwan Baba and Feodosia. Realizing the great danger (the attack of a powerful 11,500 ton cruiser, armed with nine 181 mm. guns, against a flotilla of German small barges which were in that part of sea, certainly should have ended in total disaster). The Mas 573 and 568 commanders decided to immediately attack the large enemy unit. Torpedoes from Mas 573 missed, but Legnani’s
Mas 568came to a very short distance from the cruiser and launched its two torpedoes: the first missed, while the second succeeded in hitting the aft hull of Molotov cruiser, which was hammering Italian units with its 100 and 45 mm. guns. After the strike, Mas 568 tried to outrun the adversary with a quick evasive maneuver, but was chased at full speed by the destroyer Kharkov, which had arrived to help the Molotov. With remarkable cold blood, Commander Legnani ordered his men to drop from rear all ten little depth charges the unit had aboard, triggering them on the minimal explosion depth. The Depth charges exploded in a fast succession, immediately ahead of the Kharkov, which was still in chase, damaging it so badly that it forced the Russian destroyer to stop the chase. Both the Molotov and Kharkov retired from the combat toward the east to reach their base as soon as possible. Mas 568, which in only 15 minutes succeeded in damaging the two enemy units, managed to return to Yalta, damaged and attacked by some Soviet aircraft that were drawn by the explosions.......
