I read an account of the RAF torpedo bomber attack on the Lutzow. It was at night, and the Lutzow had several DDs as escort. None of the German ships fired a shot at the attacking Beaufort, so it was able to get in close and make a solid hit. Apparently, the German crews were told there was a Ju-88 operating in the area that night, and mistook the Beaufort for that 88.

@disunityholychaos7523 that account is in a book by Ralph Barker. It was published in the US as "Torpedo Bomber" a paperback from Ballantine in the early 70s. It was also published in the UK as "Ship-Busters". The book covers Beaufort ops in the North Sea and Channel, then moves to ops in the Med around Malta, then moves back to ops around England late in the war. I found it a fascinating read. Besides the attack on the Lutzow, it covers the torpedoing of Gneisenau in Brest and the "channel dash" when Scharnhorst and Gneisenau ran up the English Channel, in broad daylight, and a lot more.
