Italian military cargo ship sunk on January 19, 1943. Located 12 km from Yati 1 beach, this warship is over 150 meters long and rests at a depth of 28 meters. The marine life includes amberjacks, corbs, and some rather bold and even curious groupers, hermit crabs, and numerous nudibranchs of the Godive family. There are some beautiful cowries, a lot of military equipment, and many discoveries are still to be made on this wreck. The cargo ship RICARDO departed from Tripoli bound for Trapani. On January 19, 1943, at 5:45 PM, near the island of Djerba, the British submarine HMS Unbroken launched a torpedo at the RICARDO. It managed to avoid the first torpedo but not the second, which struck it on its side and caused it to sink. At 22:00 another torpedo hit the RICARDO which sank without loss of life, the entire crew was saved by the tugboat Cyclope.
