Papanikolis (Greek: Y-2 Παπανικολής) was one of the most successful Greek submarines during the Second World War. Papanikolis, together with its sister ship, Katsonis, formed the first class of Greek submarines ordered after the First World War. She was built at the Chantiers de la Loire shipyards between 1925-27, and commissioned into the Hellenic Navy on 21 December 1927. Its first captain was Cdr P. Vandoros. Despite her age and mechanical problems, she participated in the 1940-41 Greco-Italian War under the command of Lieutenant Commander Miltiadis Iatridis, carrying out six war patrols in the Adriatic. During one of these, on 22 December 1940, she sank the small Italian motor ship Antonietta, and, on the very next day, the 3,952-ton troop carrier Firenze near Sazan Island. After the German invasion of April 1941, together with the rest of the fleet, Papanikolis fled to the Middle East, from where she would operate during the next years, carrying out nine war patrols in total. #AA_gun #aircraft #armor #Athens #base #black #boat #canon #conning_tower #Greece #gun #hull #Italy #metal #museum #naval #Papanikolis #ship #submarine #torpedo #tower #turret #war #world #ww2 #Αθήνα #Ελλάδα #Παπανικολής #Πειραιάς
