During the operation it came under fire from Norwegian artillery, was torpedoed by a British submarine and was finally submerged by the Germans themselves, according to a Statnett statement. Submerged? Probable translation error as in general usage submarines submerge but with the intention of surfacing afterwards. Better choice would be SANK!

Better yet “scuttled” the word indicates the ship was sunk intentionally by it’s own crew.
