The auxiliary ship Olterra was a 5,000 tons Italian tanker scuttled by her own crew at Algeciras bay on 10 June 1940, after the entry of Italy in World War II. She was recovered in 1942 by a special unit of the Decima Flottiglia MAS to be used as an undercover base for manned torpedoes in order to attack Allied shipping at Gibraltar.
