With her repairs completed on 16 September, "Rodney" arrived back at Scapa on the 23rd, but almost immediately set sail for Loch Cairnbawn where the British had created a replica of the defences surround "Tirpitz". The battleship was to serve as a target for frogmen training to use Chariot manned torpedoes to deliver and attach limpet mines to her hull in preparation for Operation Title. "Rodney" returned to Scapa on the 29th where she spent most of October training in preparation for the invasion of Northwest Africa scheduled for the following month. Churchill visited the ship on 10 October and thanked the crew for their efforts during Pedestal. "Rodney" set sail for Gibraltar on 23 October and rejoined Force H upon her arrival.
