The
German battleship
Tirpitz
was attacked on multiple occasions by
Allied
forces during
World War II
. While most the attacks failed to inflict any damage on the battleship, she was placed out of action for a lengthy period following the
Operation Source
midget submarine attack on 22 September 1943 and for a short period after the
Operation Tungsten
aircraft carrier strike on 3 April 1944.
Tirpitz
suffered severe and irreparable damage after being hit by a
Tallboy
bomb during the
Operation Paravane
air raid on 15 September 1944, and was sunk with heavy loss of life in the
Operation Catechism
raid on 12 November that year.

Operation Catechism
Operation Source
The British were determined to neutralize
Tirpitz
and remove the threat she posed to Allied lines of communication in the Arctic. Following the repeated, ineffectual bombing attacks and the failed Chariot attack in October 1942, the British turned to the newly designed
X Craft
midget submarines
. The planned attack,
Operation Source
, included attacks on
Tirpitz
,
Scharnhorst
, and
Lützow
. The X Craft were towed by large submarines to their destinations, where they could slip under anti-torpedo nets to each drop two powerful 2 tonne
mines
on the sea bed under the bottom of the target. Ten vessels were assigned to the operation, scheduled for 20–25 September 1943. Only eight of the vessels reached Norway for the attack, which began early on 22 September.
Three of the vessels,
X5
,
X6
, and
X7
, successfully breached
Tirpitz
'
s defenses, two of which—
X6
and
X7
—managed to lay their mines.
X5
was detected some 200 m (660 ft) from the nets and sunk by a combination of gunfire and depth charges.
The mines caused extensive damage to the ship; the first exploded abreast of turret Caesar, and the second detonated 45 to 55 m (148 to 180 ft) off the port bow. A fuel oil tank was ruptured, shell plating was torn, a large indentation was formed in the bottom of the ship, and bulkheads in the
double bottom
buckled. Some 1,430 t (1,410 long tons) of water flooded the ship in fuel tanks and void spaces in the double bottom of the port side, which caused a
list
of one to two degrees, which was balanced by counter-flooding on the starboard side. The flooding damaged all of the turbo-generators in generator room No. 2, and all apart from one generator in generator room No. 1 were disabled by broken steam lines or severed power cables. Turret Dora was thrown from its bearings and could not be rotated; this was particularly significant, as there were no heavy-lift cranes in Norway powerful enough to lift the turret and place it back on its bearings.
[51]
The ship's two
Arado Ar 196
floatplanes were thrown by the explosive concussion and completely destroyed. Repairs were conducted by the repair ship
Neumark
; historians William Garzke and Robert Dulin remarked that the successful repair effort was "one of the most notable feats of naval engineering during the Second World War." Repairs lasted until 2 April 1944; full speed trials were scheduled for the following day in Altafjord
