Italian tug "RELITTO SENIGALLIA" in German Service

[PT Dockyard]

Here is a link to a scuba diving site about the wreck of the Italian tug "RELITTO SENIGALLIA"

http://www.sublandia.it/content/view/36/88888904/lang,it/

She was sunk in German service in September 1944. It says the German Navy added extra guns after taking her from the Italian Navy. Does anyone have a better picture of her in KM service or details of her service record and armament?

Here are a few pictures. Not the best....

Hallo  Dave,

hier die bekanten Daten:

Senigallia (1940, Porto Marghera: Breda, 61) 222 t; 35,08 m L.; 550 PSe; Bew.: 2 Fl., 6 MGM/tg, ital. Marine; 9.9.1943 La Spezia dt., MMR; 4.9.1944 + Genua/Flibo


Am 4.9.44 kentertete SENIGALLI in Genua im Dock lt. den damaligen dortigen deutschen Dienststellen.

Wurde der Schlepper nun vielleicht noch gehoben und repariert  ?

Oder der Schlepper wurde au dem Dock geholt  und  versenkt ( unwahrscheinlich da Neubau und großer Mangel an starken Schleppern herschte.

Wo liegt genau das Wrack  nun ?

Entfernung vo den Docks ?

Gruß

Vielen Danke!

Did this information come from "Die Deutschen Kriegsschiffe 1815-1945, Band 4?"

If so, does Band 4 have many drawings of KM armed tugboats? I am considering buying that volume.

But the photos don't show the "Senigallia" 
They are showing the "Nesserland" (the upper one) and "Abeille 16", even if the latter is a reversed version of the photo sold by Drüppel/WZ-Bilderdienst. Both pictures are printed in Jung/Abendroth/Kelling, Anstriche und Tarnanstriche der deutschen Kriegsmarine page 127.

Ja, jetzt weiß ich auch warum mir die Fotos so bekannt vorkammen !!!
