KMS Tirpitz

KMS Tirpitz was a German Bismarck-class battleship active during World War II. Designed for heavy firepower and armor, it served as a powerful threat in the Atlantic and Arctic oceans. Despite its strength, Tirpitz was vulnerable to air attacks and ultimately was sunk in 1944 after multiple Allied efforts to neutralize it. Its presence tied up significant Allied resources and influenced naval strategies, making it one of the most formidable warships of its time.
