The only remaining logical option was a carrier raid. A Heavy Bomber raid was also out of the question as no British heavy bomber had enough range to attack Tirpitz in Kaafjord from Britain. Another mini-sub attack was ruled out because Tirpitz's underwater defenses had been strengthened and the Luftwaffe was now running daily air patrols in the region. This is the story of Operation Tungsten, the largest carrier air raid ever taken out on Tirpitz.Īfter the successful mini-sub attack on Tirpitz in September/1943, the British began searching for options to take Tirpitz down once and for all. So here's another one of those naval battles lost into the armpits of history. It has come to my realization that you people on the World of Warships forums really enjoy threads about warship history.
