After returning from invasion duties, "Algonquin" was made part of the destroyer force for the Home Fleet again. From 9–11 August 1944, "Algonquin" and "Sioux" are among the escorts for a carrier force sent to attack German airfields at Gossen, Norway and disrupt German shipping in the Lepsoyren Channel and Harhanesfjord. The Home Fleet departed on 16 August to carry out attacks, named Operation Goodwood, on "Tirpitz" lying at Kaafjord, splitting into two groups. "Algonquin" and "Sioux" were part of the force under the command of Rear-Admiral Rhoderick McGrigor. The escort carrier was part of the task force, manned by a Canadian crew. The escort carrier was torpedoed by a U-boat on 22 August, suffering significant damage. "Algonquin" was dispatched to aid the damaged ship arriving on 23 August, taking 203 members of the crew off. The destroyer later transferred the "Nabob" personnel to another ship and returned to fleet off Norway.
