At twilight on December 3, Scire had sailed from the Italian Submarine Base at La Spezia in northern Italy under strictest secrecy. Crews of other submarines at the base were entirely ignorant of her mission. Even her own crew knew nothing of the details of the contemplated operation. So tight were the security measures taken that Scire sailed without human torpedoes or even operator’s clothing or breathing sets. Not until the submarine had cleared the harbor and darkness had fallen did she make rendezvous with a lighter carrying three human torpedoes from the torpedo shop at San Bartolomeo. After loading this equipment in her special deck tanks, Scire set course for Lero, where, on the afternoon of December 12, Commander de la Penne was expected to report on board with his assault crews, who had been flown from Rome as an added security measure.
