Everybody remembered the Norwegian Campaign. It seems at first a contest between the Kriegsmarine (which had remendous losses), and the British and French Navies. But the Norwegian Navy, despite its small size did surprisingly well, using also coastal batteries at the best of its capabilities. The Norwegian campaign of 1940 surely left Hitler a sour taste towards the surface navy for the remainder of the war.
Norway was one of the stakes of the war, with its resources (iron and other metals, coal, and heavy water for an hypothetical nuclear program) and its considerable coastline on the North Atlantic and the Arctic. A Strategic position, it became a target all the more tempting that the Royal Norwegian army was weak, as well as its navy and its aviation.
