Just for information purposes. Tirpitz guns were not installed as they were diverted ( and referred as Tirpitz battery ) and became part of the Port of Constanta Romānia defense zone. They took part in action against two Soviet Destroyers driving one into a defensive minefield and sinking it, and scoring two hits and destroying the other. I am not at my PC to give the German coastal artillery unit that manned them, I do know after Romānia allied with Germany 3,200 men total transferred to the region to bolster coastal defenses of Bulgaria and Romania. All prior to, and leading up to Barbarossa
