Summary/Abstract: One of the greatest figures of the Romanian Royal Navy was the commander Victor (Niţă) Voinescu. First commander ofthe ”delfin” submarine, Commander Voinescu was both a moral and a professional reference for generations of navy officers.By this article, we bring him a tribute, regretting that his name is unfortunately omitted from the monumental work ”TheRomanian Army in the Second World War 1941-1945”.Commander Voinescu deserves our gratitude even more since, after the installation of the communist regime, theintelligence services are constantly investigating him for his ”reactionary” attitude, as you will see in a document of Securitythat we publish for the first time. The life of the legendary commander Voinescu should be examinated by military historiansin detail, because the Romanian Navy has what to be proud of.
