Second Battle of Narvik

Vice Admiral William Whitworth and his forces arrived at the fjord to finish off the eight remaining German destroyers and two u-boats that were virtually stranded in a trap due to lack of fuel, a result of the First Battle of Narvik. The British forces consisted of the HMS Warspite (one of the most famous 20th century Royal Navy battleship ever) and nine destroyers and planes from the carrier "Furious".

During the battle, a Fairey Swordfish catapult aircraft launched from the HMS Warspite sank the submarine "U-64", making it the first u-boat to be sunk by an airplane in World War II.

The Royal Navy easily wiped out the remaining eight German destroyers.
