- The funnels and bridge of the destroyer Borea in the port of Bengasi in early 1941. The Borea had been sunk by British planes on 17 September 1940; the same day, near the port's entrance, the Aquilone was lost to mines probably launched in the same air raid during which the Borea was sunk. In the background, from left to right, a "Tre pipe" ("three funnel") torpedo boat, a small merchant ship, a tug and some motor sailers may be seen
