	Alfred von Tirpitz - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Alfred von Tirpitz (March 19, 1849 – March 6, 1930) was a German Admiral, Minister of State and Commander of the Kaiserliche Marine in World War I from 1914 until 1916.
		Tirpitz developed a "risk theory" (an analysis which today would be considered part of game theory) whereby, if the German Navy reached a certain level of strength relative to the British Navy, the British would try to avoid confrontation with Germany.
		Tirpitz had been made a Grand Admiral in 1911 and was appointed Commander of the Navy on the outbreak of war.

	First World War.com - Who's Who - Alfred von Tirpitz
		Alfred von Tirpitz (1849-1930) was chiefly responsible, with the significant support of Kaiser Wilhelm II, for the build-up in strength of the German navy, including its submarine fleet, from 1897 until the years immediately prior to the First World War.
		Tirpitz went on to serve as commander of a torpedo flotilla and subsequently inspector general of the torpedo fleet, during which time he developed a keen interest in the potentialities of submarines in wartime.
		A Rear Admiral from 1895, and having served in East Asia with a cruiser squadron during 1896-97, Tirpitz was appointed Secretary of State of the Imperial Navy Department in 1897.

	The Rise of the German Navy Under the influence of Tirpitz: 1890-1912
		Tirpitz was quick to capitalize on the Navy League and other associated movements, which helped to create a climate favourable to the passing of additional naval bills.
		Tirpitz and the Kaiser had surreptitiously succeeded in drawing the power to develop the navy into their own hands by bypassing the opposition in the Reichstag.
		Wilhelm and Tirpitz had managed to consolidate nationalist support for the program with great success: in 1899, the budget had been 133 million marks; in 1905-06 it was 233 million marks; and in 1913-14 it was to be 467 million marks.

	Book Review: Alfred von Tirpitz and Right-wing Politics, 1914-1930, by Raffael Scheck
		Alfred Tirpitz contributed to the disaster called World War I. He was an admiral and Germany's secretary of the navy in 1900, when he encouraged his king, Wilhelm II, to pursue what became an arms race in warships.
		Tirpitz wanted his country to have its proper place in the sun and to be second to none as a military power, which meant competition with the world's greatest naval power, Britain.
		Tirpitz contributed to winning the support of a large segment of public opinion, and he won the support of Germany's parliament, the Reichstag.

		Throughout four long years of war Allied air and naval forces endeavored to sink the German battleship Tirpitz The mighty warship was a constant threat to Allied shipping, even while lying at anchor in her lair among the fjords of Norway.
		Without so much as weighing anchor, Tirpitz could disrupt the north Atlantic convoys by tying up urgently needed escort vessels in readiness in case she made a run for the open sea.
		After the Tirpitz capsized, he was one of the few fortunate survivors to be released from deep inside the ship by rescuers cutting into the upturned hull.

	Tirpitz - Wikipédia
		Le Tirpitz ne se risqua jamais sur l'Atlantique nord qui fut fatal au Bismark : la puissance qu'il représentait était telle que la perte du bâtiment aurait été calamiteuse pour Hitler, pourtant peu convaincu de l'utilité des navires de surface traditionnels.
		Tractés par des sous-marins conventionnels jusqu'à proximité du Tirpitz ancré dans l'Altafjord, 6 sous-marins X participaient initialement au raid Victimes d'une fiabilité médiocre et de rupture incessante des cables de remorquage (l'un d'entre eux est perdu en route), seuls 3 parvinrent à leur cible.
		Le Tirpitz fut finalement positionné au-dessus d'un haut-fond aplani pour la circonstance: ainsi, si le bâtiment était gravement touché, il irait simplement se poser sur le fond sans chavirer et demeurerait la forteresse qu'il était devenu.

		A midget submarine attack almost succeeded, and Tirpitz was finally sunk shortly thereafter by RAF bombers on 12 November 1944.
		Overall, the Samek Tirpitz captures the look of the real ship and to me this is the most important attribute in producing a high quality model.

		The Tirpitz was one of a family of German Battleships built as surface raiders, and posed a dire threat to Allied convoys.
		In order to minimise the severity of the explosion, the Tirpitz began heaving in on her starboard cable and veering on her port in order to swing her bows away from the position where it was thought that X6 had laid her charges.
