Tirpitz was the second of two Bismarck-class battelship built for Nazi Germany's Kriegsmarine during World War II. Named after Grand Admiral Alfred Von Tirpitz, the architect of the Kaiserliche Marine, the ship was laid down at the Kriegsmarinewerft Wilhelmshaven in November 1936 and her hull was launched two and a half years later. Work was completed in February
1941, when she was commissioned into the German fleet. Like her sister ship Bismarck.

Tirpitz was armed with a main battery of eight 38-centimetre (15 in) guns in
four twin turrets. After a series of wartime modifications she was heavier than Bismarck, making her the heaviest battleship ever built by a European navy.
