Il Mediterraneo quando ci si mette è terribile 20 ore dura la lotta con la tempesta, 20 ore mortali dopo 48 ore di tensione continua, di sforzi sovrumani di eroismi incredibili. Si adopera tutto per lottare contro l’acqua anche le gamelle del rancio, anche gli elmetti di combattimento sono buoni, nel buio della notte burrascosa alle ore 1.54 del 17 Giugno 1942 il Vivaldi entra in un porto nazionale e gitta l’ancora.
