Well in the real Operation Cerberus - the channel dash - the Prinz Eugen was the only one of the 3 big ships not to hit a mine
Scharnhorst (twice) and Gneisenau (once) were mined off the Friesian Islands, on mines laid during the previous nights by Hampdens of 5 Group
Another side part to the operation I like

HMS Walpole was ordered back to Harwich at 1318 when a main bearing burned. During her return voyage she was attacked by 2 RAF Wellington bombers, which made several runs and scored near misses. The bombers were driven off by a flight of Me 109’s, which gave the ship close air cover until they ran short of fuel and had to return to base
