Later that year, she participated in the hunt for the Bismarck, launching torpedo bombers and Fairey Swordfish biplanes against the battleship until it was finally sunk by British warships.

HISTORY ASPECTS:

The German Battleship Tirpitz was one of the largest battleships of the Second World War. Commissioned in 1941, the Tirpitz was primarily used as a fleet-in-being, that is, to force the Allies to keep significant naval forces in the North Atlantic in order to contain her. In late 1942, the Tirpitz sailed to Norway, where she would remain for much of the rest of the war. She was heavily targeted by Allied air and naval forces, and several attempts were made to sink her, including the famous “Operation Tungsten” in April 1944. Despite suffering damage from several near misses and a torpedo hit, the Tirpitz remained afloat until November of 1944, when she was finally sunk by British bombers in Tromsø fjord.

The Tirpitz played a significant role in the war in the North Atlantic, and her destruction was a major victory for the Allied forces. The 1:700 scale model of the Tirpitz allows collectors and history enthusiasts to appreciate the intricate details of this historic battleship. With its carefully crafted design and attention to detail, the Tirpitz model is a must-have for any collector or history buff.

HISTORY ASPECTS:

USS Lexington (CV-2), one of the U.S. Navy’s first two aircraft carriers, was commissioned in December 1927 at Quincy, Massachusetts. Operating mainly in the Pacific, she took part in fleet maneuvers in the Hawaiian Islands, the Caribbean, and off Panama Canal. When the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, Lexington was transporting aircraft to Midway Island. During the December 11 attempt to relieve Wake Island, which was aborted, she was sent to attack Japanese installations in the Marshall Islands as a diversion.

In January and February 1942, her aircraft raided Japanese positions in th southwestern Pacific. Along with USS Yorktown (CV-5) in early May, she participated in the Battle of the Coral Sea. On May 7 and 8, her aircraft took part in the sinking of the Japanese aircraft carrier Shoho and raided the aircraft carriers Shokaku and Zuikaku. The Japanese responded with aircraft attacks, which hit Lexington with two torpedo and three aerial bombs.

Following gasoline explosions, she was abandoned and scuttled by USS Phelps (DD-218), leading her to be the first U.S. Navy aircraft carrier lost in World War II. On March 4, 2018, on an expedition to the Coral Sea, the research vessel RV Petrel discovered the remains of Lexington approximately 2 miles uner the sea and 430 nautical miles off the coast of Queensland.
