The Tirpitz was heavly damaged by the miget subs, and was moved to Tromsofjord to turn her into a coastal defence battery. This brought her in range of 617 Sqd who droped 20 tallboy boms, two which hit.
She capsized with most of her crew on board, some were resuced by cutting a hole in her upturned hull, allowing them to escape.
