After the sinking of the Bismarck, the Tirpitz was the only large battleship of the German Navy. Put into service on 25 February 1941, she carried a crew of 2,608 men and had a displacement of 52,600 tons. In 1942 she was transferred to Norway where operated from fjord bases against British convoys. Numerous British air attacks caused only minor damage, whereas an attack by three small British submarines on 22 September 1943 proved more successful. British naval planes caused major damage to the Tirpitz on 03 April 1944. Finally, on 12 November 1944, 36 British bombers achieved three direct hits, capsizing the Tirpitz and causing the loss of 1,204 men.
