Prototype Information: DKM Tirpitz, WWII German Battleship
  The German battleship Tirpitz was the sister ship of the Bismark, which was
  sunk by the British Royal Navy in perhaps the most famous sea chase in
  history. Although the Tirpitz had a much longer life than her sister ship
  she was destined to spend it hiding from air attack in the fjords of Norway.
  Eventually, after numerous attack she was sunk by RAF Lancater bombers from
  617 and 9 Squadrons in November 1944. The Tirpitz was armed with 8x15" guns
  and could reach a speed of 30 knots.
