Wasn’t Tirpitz destroyed by one of the first experimental guided bombs. It was huge as well as I remember.
Not sure about that... There was an earlier mission utilizing two-man underwater... craft... not submarines, the crew rode them in diving gear and they dropped amatol under her hull, with time delay fuses so they could get away. The explosions damaged the Tirpitz but did not sink her.
The Tirpitz was damaged by the mini-sub raid. But she was sunk by bombers dropping unguided 10,000 pounder bombs. She was hit a couple of times and rolled over.
No, that was the HMS Barham. It was sunk by a German radio controlled guided bomb.
Tirpitz was hit multiple times by tall boys and had multiple near misses. The first strike they attempted put one right through her deck but they were able to control the flooding. The last time she was hit twice on the same side as they were moving her to a new location and they couldn’t counter flood in time and she rolled over.
