The Sottomarino Enrico Toti stands in Milan as a displayed Italian submarine and a record of postwar naval history. Its optical badge carries the marking S 506. Built by Italcantieri in Monfalcone during the 1960s, the Toti became the first submarine constructed in Italy after World War II. The submarine served the Italian Navy as an anti-submarine vessel. Designed for anti-submarine work, it carried the NATO designation SSK and operated with crews sharing bunks in shifts. Shared bunks show how crews managed limited space. After decommissioning in 1999, the submarine travelled from Augusta through the Adriatic and Po River toward Milan. Its route reached Cremona before the final overland journey. Heavy ballast was removed and parts were dismantled, reducing the vessel's weight and size for transport. The Toti now stands at Milan's National Museum of Science and Technology Leonardo da Vinci. Its name honours Enrico Toti and links the vessel with Italy's military history. The submarine remains a concrete record of Italian naval engineering.
