On AIDMEN's latest Bollettino, n. 31/2017, we publish a 20-page story on the subject of "MFP F 523 una 'Marinefaehrprahm' a Rosignano" by Gabriele Milani and myself. It is the story of her stranding on the reef at Rosignano, near the Secche di Vada, after a night fight between her Group and three MTBs, MGBs and PTs on 24 January, 1944, and of her repairs ashore and rescue on 13 April, 1944.
If it is of any interest, I try and could post some parts of the story here.
Hello de domenico,

Dear Theo,
The damage and grounding of F 523 happened on Jan. 24, not 13.
Over the next few days I will post some segments.

Sorry, but the file limits of this forum are too restrictive for my article. I did try, but to no avail. Darius has the full piece (24 pages), sent via mail.
