Italian auxiliary cruiser Ramb III

Ramb III was a refrigerated cargo ship built at Genoa by Ansaldo in 1938, the third of four sister reefer ships ordered for the Royal Banana Monopoly Business to carry bananas from Somaliland and Eritrea to Europe. Her design allowed her to be fitted out as a commerce raider in wartime. She displaced 3,667 tons, burned oil and could make about 18.5 knots, with room for 2,418 tons of cargo. Requisitioned by the Regia Marina after Italy entered the war in 1940, she served as an armed convoy escort and transport, and the British submarine Triumph torpedoed her at Benghazi on 10 May 1941. The Germans seized her in 1943 and used her as the minelayer Kiebitz until Allied aircraft sank her at Rijeka in 1944. Refloated and rebuilt as the training ship and presidential yacht Galeb, she is now a museum ship at Rijeka.
