	Military History Online
		Although convoys were introduced in the early part of the war for ships on the short cross-English Channel routes, partly because it was generally assumed that naval escort on a one-to-one ship base was necessary, it was assumed that trans-Atlantic protection would be impossible.
		Convoys fell into two main categories, The so-called "operational" type were formed for specific missions, such as those run through the Mediterranean for the relief of Malta, and those, typically employing large fast ocean liners, for troop transportation.
		Even if a convoy, as was sometimes the case, was accompanied by a specialised "rescue ship", escorts were often distracted from their primary role by the need to pick up survivors from sinking merchant ships.

		If the convoy’s speed per hour was 15 nm and the battle lasted for12 hours, the ocean area to which changes might have caused could possibly amount to 400 to 1,000 square kilometres.

		When not convoying men and supplies from New England, the colonial cruisers were ready to put themselves under the command of Warren and did assist in blockading duties.
