Tembien earlier in her career, as Milluna

... that although the SS Tembien (pictured) was known to be carrying Allied prisoners of war, she was sunk by a British submarine on 27 February 1942 with the loss of hundreds of lives? Source: "632 British POWs had perished ... 419 on the Tembien. Since Ultra had provided the routes and manifests of the ships it was odd that they were attacked" from: Sadkovich, James J. (1994). The Italian Navy in World War II. Greenwood Press. p. 234. ISBN 978-0-313-28797-8.

Created by Dumelow (talk). Self-nominated at 09:05, 12 February 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/SS Tembien; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

Interesting article, no copyright violations and it has the correct inline citations. The hook is interesting and is referenced and in the article. The article is new enough and long enough and is neutral. The image is clear and free. Hold for special date February 27. Bruxton (talk) 21:53, 13 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
