on the 26th December 1943, while attempting to intercept convoy JW-55B, she encountered a large British Force of the battleship
HMS Duke of York and the cruisers HMS Belfast, HMS Jamaica and HMS
Norfolk. Initially HMS Norfolk engaged the Scharnhorst and a lucky
hit knocked out the radar systems of the Scharnhorst. soon after

hit by a number of shells and 14 torpedoes. This engagement took place
