| Hi, friends! I am diver from Ukraine. Two days before we dived in Odessa (Black Sea) to Sulina. This is Romanian transport which sunk in 1942 after Soviet submarine atack. I found on bollards marks SMR. And people from Odessa dive center told me, that before they found parts of caps and plates with the same mark. Can you explain me something about this point? I only know that this is Serviciul Maritim Roman. It was on all ships and on all staff of Romanian Royal Navy? Thank you |
