Preferred escort for carrier strikes off Norway

After Arctic convoy work, Nubian escorted a strike against the German submarine base in Trondheim Fjord and an attack on Tirpitz in Altenfjord. She became a preferred escort for carriers and other ships on critical missions. That status reflected confidence built through her earlier screening, anti-submarine, and fleet-support work. Together, these assignments connect one destroyer's record with British carrier operations against German naval forces in Norway.
