Operation Thunderbolt is a fictional military operation in the Honor Harrington series by David Weber. It is detailed in his book War of Honor.
Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
Launched on November 10, 1919 P.D., Operation Thunderbolt reopened hostilities between the Star Kingdom of Manticore and its allies and the Republic of Haven. Technically, it either continued the First Havenite War or started the Second.
Thunderbolt was conceived in part by Thomas Theisman and Lester Tourville. It was a multi-pronged assault that was highly successful in some areas, namely the destruction of a great number of Manticoran shipyards and partially-built warships, but failed in other respects, primarily in the attempted destruction of Honor Harrington's fleet at Sidemore Station.
