21/09/15

"We have the following details on the attack made by the French submarine Papin, aggregated with our naval forces, against a group of Austrian torpedoes spotted off Cape Planka (west of Split).
These ran at the speed of fifteen knots, and the Papin directed his attack on a Huszar-type destroyer, when an enemy torpedo came between the submarine and the destroyer Huszar. The Papin did not hesitate to launch his torpedoes, one of which struck the torpedo boat, seriously damaging it. The commander of the submarine does not believe it is the 51 T of 200 tons, of the 1906, as it was communicated in the Austrian bulletin, but instead a more modern type, of 250 tonn. ".
