Prinz Eugen
Off Dover, "Prinz Eugen" came under fire from British coastal artillery batteries, though they scored no hits. Several Motor Torpedo Boats then attacked the ship, but "Prinz Eugen"s destroyer escorts drove the vessels off before they could launch their torpedoes. At 16:43, "Prinz Eugen" encountered five British destroyers: , , , , and . She fired her main battery at them and scored several hits on "Worcester", but she was forced to maneuver erratically to avoid their torpedoes. Nevertheless, "Prinz Eugen" arrived in Brunsbüttel on the morning of 13 February, completely undamaged but suffering the only casualty in all three big ships, killed by aircraft gunfire.
