15-10-1944 Sunday While on the return voyage to Gotenhafen on 15 October, Prinz Eugen inadvertently rammed the light cruiser Leipzig amidships north of Hela.[64] The cause of the collision was heavy fog.[70] The light cruiser was nearly cut in half,[64] and the two ships remained wedged together for fourteen hours.[67] Prinz Eugen was taken to Gotenhafen, where repairs were effected within a month.[64] Sea trials commenced on 14 November.[68] On 20–21 November, the ship supported German troops on the Sworbe Peninsula by firing around 500 rounds of main battery ammunition. Four torpedo boats—T13, T16, T19, and T21—joined the operation.[68] Prinz Eugen then returned to Gotenhafen to resupply and have her worn-out gun barrels re-bored.[64] German cruiser Prinz Eugen - Wikipedia
