Operation Obviate was the RAF Bomber Command attack on the at Tromsø on 29 October 1944. The attack was foiled by cloud covering the ship at the last minute, and the bombs that were dropped caused only minor damage. ''Tirpitz'' would finally be sunk in Operation Catechism two weeks later. == Background == ''Tirpitz'' was a of 42,900 tons, armed with eight 38 cm (15 inch) guns. She was designed to attack merchant shipping in the Atlantic, but the loss of and other commerce raiders led to instructions that she should be used for limited sorties only. In early 1942, ''Tirpitz'' was sent to northern Norway, where she would remain for most of World War II. She acted mainly as a fleet in being, threatening the Arctic convoys and tying up three British battleships that were needed elsewhere. ''Tirpitz'' had been damaged in Kåfjord by a raid (Operation Paravane) on 15 September 1944 by No. 617 Squadron and No. 9 Squadron RAF from a base in the Soviet Union. The Germans decided that the ship could not be repaired and towed her 200 miles south, for use as a static battery in the defence of Tromsø against an expected Allied invasion. The British were unaware of the damage and so continued plans to sink ''Tirpitz''. However the move to Tromsø had brought her within range of aircraft flying from British airfields such as RAF Lossiemouth.
