On 30 November 1943 was created the 2nd Submarine Squadron, composed of five CB Italian midget subs, but which were in poor condition. Only two of these became operational by 1 July 1944. They carried out only observation missions at 30 miles from the coast. One of them was sunk during a Soviet air-attack on 20 August 1944.
