Yep... The truth is revealed in post #4 :lol:

Named after this Todaro, not the mobster

If that is the guy the sub was named after, I agree with your question...why?:hmm:

Ah the joys of editing posts too slowly.

@AVGWarhawk: Right after posting I learned that the sub is not named after the mobster, and edited my post accordingly.

That makes more sense!

Here's something on the correct Salvatore Todaro in case anyone is interested:

He was a Regia Marina sub skipper during World war 2. Apparently he sunk four ships during his career(details here (http://www.regiamarina.net/subs/actions/sub_ops_com_us.asp), select his name from the drop-down menu) and survived the war.

Here's an article on the Italian submarine Cappellini, which he commanded during several war patrols

[AVGWarhawk]

Interesting.

[Raptor1]

Quite an interesting history that Cappellini sub has, served with the Regia Marina, Kriegsmarine and IJN...

[FIREWALL]

Italian huh ?

Well, MARIA then of course. :yep:
