readx; The second Bismarck-class Type B battleship "Tirpitz" was built by the Wilhelm Naval Shipyard. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 On November 2, 1935, the construction of the keel was laid on slipway No. 2 at the William Naval Shipyard under the construction number S128.

The launch of the Tirpitz on April 1, 1938 was also a grand ceremony, attended by Führer Hitler and the Commander-in-Chief of the German Navy, Field Marshal Raeder, and a large number of other high-ranking officials, and also following the example of the Bismarck, invited Tirpitz's daughter, Mrs. Farau von Hassel, to attend the launching ceremony.

During the outfitting of the "Tirpitz", World War II had not yet begun to break out, and the William shipyard was not bombed by British fighters, so the outfitting work of the "Tirpitz" was not affected much, and its service period was normal and officially commissioned on February 25, 1939. On March 16, 1940, he began to go to the Baltic Sea for 5 months of testing and training.

The battleship Tirbitz was the 2nd ship of the Bismarck-class B-class battleship of the Nazi German Navy. The Tirpitz was named after the "Father of the German Navy", Field Marshal Alfred von Tirpitz (1849-1930), the "Father of the German Navy". Commencement date: 1935.10.30, launch date: 1938.4.1, service date: 1939.2.25. At the time of the heavy damage to the battleship Bismarck, the "Tirbitz" had not yet completed training and commissioning work.

On September 26, 1940, after completing all training and commissioning, the "Tirpitz" began its first combat mission after commissioning - the blockade of the port of Kronstadt. A number of other ports were shelled. Upon its return to port, the Tirbitz was equipped with a large number of small-caliber anti-aircraft weapons and two torpedo launchers.

At the beginning of 1941, the "Tirpitz" was transferred to Norway. Hitler said to the commander of the Navy, Field Marshal Raeder, "If every German ship is not on the coast of Norway, it must be in the wrong place." Another reason was to cut off the "Northern Route" for the Allies to support the Soviet Union. On 16 January, the Tirbitz sailed into the port of Trondheim in central Norway.

On March 6, 1941, the Tirbitz left the Alta Fjord and headed north to intercept the Northern Route fleet.

The "Tirpitz," which returned home on 9 March, was attacked by the torpedo planes of the British aircraft carriers, and the "Tirpitz" evaded the torpedo attack, and the two torpedo planes were shot down by the ship's fire.

From the night of March 30 to the early hours of March 31, RAF bombers carried out the first large-scale bombing of the Tirpitz, but this bombing was unsuccessful. On 27 and 28 April, RAF bombers launched a massive air raid on the battleship Tilbitz anchored at Trondheim. British bombers also laid mines in the fjord in an attempt to blockade the Tirbitz.

On June 27, 1941, at the repeated requests of Stalin and Roosevelt, Britain organized an unprecedented fleet of PQ-17 ships to sail from Iceland in bad weather. The fleet consists of 34 cargo ships with a cargo capacity of more than 200,000 tons. The British tried to lure the "Tirbitz" out of the voyage while escorting the convoy, and completely wiped out the henchmen on the northern route. The German Navy discovered the PQ-17 and decided to make a sortie of the "Tirbitz". On 5 July, the surface ship units, including the battleship "Tirpitz", departed from Trondheim, and after receiving information that the "Tirpitz" had left the port, the British home fleet, which had been covering from a long distance according to the original plan, was unable to arrive in time because of a large amount of drift ice, and was forced to order the fleet to disperse under the premise that the known intelligence showed that there was no hope of rescuing the PQ-17. However, the German fleet with the "Tirbitz" as the core returned to the sea under the instructions of Hitler's spirit of "striving for the protection of large warships from loss", and the PQ-17 fleet, which had lost the protection of escort ships and was scattered, was hunted by both German submarines and aircraft, and more than 130,000 tons of supplies were buried at the bottom of the sea.

Shortly thereafter, in order to escape the continuous bombardment of the British Air Force, the "Tirbitz" was transferred to the Alta Fjord, and a large number of anti-aircraft guns and smoke devices were set up in the valleys on both sides of the fjord. In order to eliminate the henchmen on the northern route, the British decided to follow the example of the Italian Navy in carrying out underwater raids when the bombing by the aircraft still did not work. The British began to devote a lot of effort to the development of a pocket submarine codenamed "X".

On September 6, 1942, the "Tirbitz" and "Scharnhorst" went to Spielgen Island to destroy the Allied weather station on the island.

In September 1942, a British submarine towing X-boats came from Scapa Bay, and on September 23 two X-boats approached the target, the "Tirpitz". After passing through the anti-torpedo nets laid around the warship, the two X-boats successively placed the carrying blasting devices under the battleship, and the huge explosion shook the "Tirbitz" out of the water, and the "Tirbitz" suffered serious damage, and the engine room and motor room were flooded; Most of the optics were damaged; The rotation mechanism of the B and D turrets was damaged; The ship's electrical system was paralyzed. The ship was paralyzed for six months before it regained its combat effectiveness.

Upon learning of the repair of the Tirpitz, the British Navy immediately formulated a combat operation codenamed "Tungsten" to completely eliminate the only remaining large warship on the northern route. At the beginning of April 1943, two aircraft carrier task forces flew from Scarpa Bay, and on April 3, six aircraft carriers dispatched a total of forty-one attack aircraft (excluding fighters) to attack the Tirbitz. The "Tirbitz" was hit by a total of 15 bullets, a hole in diameter of nearly 2 meters was blown up in the upper deck, and a near-miss bomb injured the right propeller. "Tirbitz" suffered another heavy blow. From 22 August to 29 August 1943, British carrier-based aircraft carried out four large-scale air raids on the "Tirpitz", but did not cause much damage to the German ships.

On September 15, 1943, RAF heavy bombers took off from the Soviet Union and carried out a bombing operation codenamed "Minesweeper" against the Tirbitz. Four thousand pounds of "seismic bombs" were used to carry out formation bombing of the "Tirbitz". A bomb hit the bow of the ship and caused serious damage to the hull, the bow of the ship was blown out of a large hole of 14.6 meters x 9.7 meters, and the strong vibration and shock wave caused the destruction of instruments and equipment and various pipelines, and the warship lost its combat effectiveness. Soon the Tirbitz returned to self-propellation, but could sail only on one shaft at a speed of only ten knots. At the end of September 1943, the naval command decided to terminate the repair of the "Tirbitz" and tow it to the port of Tromsø as a floating battery in the Lingenfjord of the port of Tromsø to defend against possible attacks. On 18 October, the Tirbitz, towed by a tugboat, entered a new anchorage: the Lingenfjord in the port of Tromsey.

On October 24, 1943, the British again used RAF bombers to bomb the "Tirpitz". A bomb hit the stern of the ship, completely destroying the transmission gear compartment of the main engine of the "Tirbitz", making it completely incapacitated by itself.

On November 12, 1943, the British Air Force dispatched bombers carrying 5.5-ton "tall cabinet" super bombs specially designed to deal with large warships. Two "tall cabinets" directly hit the hull of the "Tirbitz", four near-miss bombs exploded near the hull, the underwater part of the port side was torn open by a near-missing "tall cabinet" with a length of nearly 70 meters, the hull continued to tilt, the ammunition depot of the C turret exploded, and finally crashed into a reef in the sea area south of the island of Hayy in Lingenfjord at about 9:50 a.m., and a total of 902 people died, except for the sailors who were rescued from the hull afterwards. So far, in order to sink this super warship of the Nazi German Navy, the British have dispatched more than 600 aircraft and pocket submarines.

After the end of World War II, a company engaged in the scrap steel trade acquired ownership of the crippled ship Tirbitz after paying 240,000 kroners to the Norwegian government.

The above history is the life of Bismarck-class cups...... However, now it is different, because of the advance time, the ending is not so cupy. The Bismarck-class battleships are different from the originals, and the performance data of the Bismarck-class battleships are basically very different from the original design, not only in terms of displacement of nearly 80,000 tons. The length of the ship is 298.5 meters, the length of the ship is 48 meters longer than the historical prototype, the waterline is 289.5 meters long, and the waterline is 48 meters long, which is not much different from the length of the ship, and its width is 56 meters, which is 20 meters more than the one there, and the maximum draft of 11 meters is only one or two meters more than the previous one, and the standard displacement is: Bismarck 65,455.5 tons, Tirpitz 63,514.5 tons. The full load displacement is: Bismarck 73704 tons, Tirpitz 73191 tons. It is no different from the original Yamato class, the maximum speed is no different from the original, and even the maximum endurance has not changed much.

The Bismarck-class hull was limited by the water depth of the Kiel Canal (the Kiel Canal was an artificial canal dug by Germany at the end of the 19th century in order to shorten the voyage from the North Sea to the Baltic Sea and to be able to sail freely between the North Sea and the Baltic Sea in wartime, and was expanded and dug during World War I, but the project was not completed until 35 years), and the hull was moderately widened to reduce the draft, with an aspect ratio of 6.67:1. Its superstructure follows the bridge of the Scharnhorst class, which is more compact and beautiful, and according to the trial data of the Scharnhorst class, the Atlantic bow is adopted, which makes the stability of the hull higher and the seaworthiness is higher than that of the Scharnhorst class (flat head before improvement). Its drivetrain basically follows the standard layout of 3 axles and 2 rudders designed by German warships in World War I, but the 3 oars are not in a line during World War I, but they are changed to 2 front and 1 rear, but the rudder is still in the style of World War I, but the rudder is changed to electric as the main hydraulic backup (some people say that this layout of the rudder buried the Bismarck and let it lie in its home port until the end of the war).
