Operation Tungsten was a British air attack on the German battleship Tirpitz on April 3, 1944. The Royal Navy launched the strike from aircraft carriers off the coast of Norway, aiming to disable the Kriegsmarine’s most powerful battleship, which posed a major threat to Allied convoys.

Two waves of Fairey Barracuda dive bombers, escorted by Hellcat and Wildcat fighters, struck the unprepared Tirpitz in Kaafjord, scoring multiple direct hits. The attack killed hundreds crew members and severely damaged the ship, preventing it from being combat-ready for months. Because of the earlier British raid that permanently closed the St. Nazaire dry dock, as well as severe fuel shortages, repairs had to be carried out in Norwegian harbors.

Although Tirpitz survived, Operation Tungsten demonstrated the effectiveness of carrier-based air strikes and marked the beginning of a series of attacks that ultimately led to its destruction in November 1944.

As an #Australian and understanding the effect the #eu had on our trade after #ww2 which forced us to find new trading partners all I can say is: Karma is a bitch.

We diversify, we don’t import or export much with the #USA and since they tried to destroy our trade relations with #china I am happy to see them burn and the defence grifters with them.
