Yugoslav submarine Sava
Submarine of the Royal Navy
Sava (pennant number P-802) was a Flutto-class submarine in service with the Yugoslav Navy (Serbo-Croatian: Jugoslavenska ratna mornarica – JRM). Built by Cantieri Riuniti dell'Adriatico in Monfalcone during the Second World War, Sava was laid down and completed as Nautilo for service with the Italian Regia Marina (Royal Navy).
The boat was scuttled by her crew in September 1943 following the Italian armistice. She was salvaged by German forces and commissioned in the Kriegsmarine as UIT-19, only to be sunk again in an Allied air raid in 1944. After the war, the Yugoslav Navy salvaged her for the second time, commissioning her as Sava and operating her until 1971.
