Scirè's earlier namesake, the submarine Scirè, was launched in 1938 and served during the Second World War. She participated in some of the operations of the Decima Flottiglia MAS, including the raid on Alexandria in 1941 using human torpedoes, before her loss in 1942.
Scirè spent over five months deployed to the U.S. in 2009, participating in the CONUS 2009 exercise with the United States Navy.
