On April 3, 1944, the Royal Navy attempted to destroy Tirpitz with carrier-based dive bombers in Operation Tungsten. The operation failed because the dive bomber pilots released their payload at too low an altitude, causing the bombs to fail to penetrate the ship's deck armor. Suppose the pilots release their bombs at the correct altitude. The bombs penetrate the deck armor and ruin the battleship's inner machinery. Tirpitz is declared a total constructive loss, freeing up the ships kept in the Home Fleet to keep an eye on her. What happens next?
