Operation Catechism was the last of nine attempts to sink or sabotage the Kriegsmarine battleship during the Second World War. The ship was finally sunk in this attempt. == Action ==
On 12 November 1944, RAF Bomber Command dispatched 30 Avro Lancaster heavy bombers from No. 9 Squadron RAF and No. 617 Squadron RAF (including a film unit aircraft from No. 463 Squadron of the Royal Australian Air Force) from RAF Lossiemouth to ''Tirpitz''s mooring in Tromsø, Norway. Each bomber carried a single 5-ton Tallboy bomb. At least two bombs hit ''Tirpitz'', which suffered a violent internal explosion. The battleship capsized and remained bottom upwards.〔 Approximately 1,000 of the 1,900 men on board were killed or injured and one No. 9 Squadron RAF Lancaster was severely damaged by flak; it landed safely in neutral Sweden with its crew unhurt.〔 〕
