After the Battleship Tirpitz was attacked by Allied bombers launched from Russia, German Naval Command made the mistake of sending Tirpitz to his doom by taking anchor further south with no smoke screen.
Spitfires were active in air superiority to help bombers get to the Tirpitz. In fact, on one of the missions when Tirpitz was hit, Spitfires flew cover to prevent Bf-109s from reaching the battle. There were engagements, too.
