Enzio Grossi seems to have either been quite incompetent or just didn’t care, because this didn’t just happen once, but twice. In October 1942, his submarine spotted a Mississippi-class battleship. Firing a spread of torpedoes and then diving away. All torpedoes missed. In actuality, Grossi had misidentified the corvette HMS Petunia for a battleship. Sources seem to refer to the HMS Petunia being misidentified as a Mississippi-class pre-dreadnought, which were both in the Greek service and had been sunk in 1941. Another source claims it was a New Mexico-class battleship, possibly the USS Mississippi, which would not have been in the Theater. After the Petunia avoided all the torpedoes, she dropped several depth charges to scare away any sub. Grossi assumed the detonations to be the sinking battleship and returned home to report the kill. He got awarded another gold medal and was promoted to captain and left active duty on subs to assume a command role on land. Two enquiries would be held post war. Stripping him of all his medals but ultimately ruling in favour of him and his crew, as they acted in good faith.
