Bow of the KT12. This ship was built on behalf of the German Navy in Italy at the OTO shipyards of Livorno. It was an armed, armored military ship, for the transport of heavy goods launched on May 19, 1943 intended for the transport of food, vehicles and fuel to North Africa. On her first trip she was attacked by the submarine Safari and hit by a torpedo at the bow. It went down immediately, while the rest of the ship began to burn and remained on the surface for 41 minutes before sinking. The level of destruction is evident. One can see the effect of the presence of marine life when performing photogrammetry of an object. In this case, there was a school of fish near the top mast which made it difficult to model it (although they allowed for some interesting photos). The mesh was decimated from 10.8 million faces to 2.1 million.
