		For each convoy, vessels are listed in alphabetical order but should you wish to reconstruct the 'Cruising Order' to show the disposition of the ships, you may download a blank form here (print the page in landscape mode and enter the ships' names according to their pendant numbers).
		The OS series continued until September, 1942 (OS.42) when it was suspended for five months to free resources for Operation Torch, the invasion of North Africa which began on November 8, 1942.
		Convoys will be added when time is available and you should either check the contents page or send me an email to be informed when additions appear.

	D/T Marit II - Norwegian Merchant Fleet 1939-1945
		Marit II, with a cargo of fuel oil, was one of many Norwegian ships in Convoy HX 202, which arrived Liverpool on Aug. 21-1942, and on Sept. 4 she joined Convoy ON 127 to head back across the Atlantic, voyage London-New York-Curacao.
		This convoy, which also had several Norwegian ships (many of which had also previously arrived England with HX 202), was heavily attacked and the Norwegian Hindanger and Sveve were sunk in the course of the battle, while Daghild and Fjordaas were damaged.
		In Dec. that same year she was scheduled for Convoy HX 326, but was instead sent to join the slower Convoy SC 163, transferring to this convoy at sea.

	Troop Convoy AT-20
		Convoy AT-20, with troops and supplies bound for Scotland, was, as convoys go, of the "fast" variety, with an expected 15 knots speed of advance.
		The ratio of convoy ships to escorts was also better in the troop convoys, which had eight to fifteen ships in convoy, with escorts numbering nine or more, in addition to the "heavy" stuff represented by a cruiser and a battleship.
		Ordered to investigate "collision in the convoy", (later determined to be the collision of Buck and Awatea) Ingraham, in that same blinding fog as she entered the convoy's path, got athwart ship the Navy oiler Chemung, whose bow cut Ingraham nearly in two.

		The convoy passed Gibraltar on the 10th and from the next day was subjected to increasingly intense attacks by submarines, aircraft and later coastal forces.
		The convoy carried on, still with 13 of the original 14 merchantmen afloat and its close escort of four cruisers and 12 destroyers.
		These highly trained flotillas were used to reinforce the escorts of convoys under heavy attack, and although called Escort Groups should not be confused with the groups of 1941, which were often temporary in nature and with a diversity of ship types.

		She formed part of convoy DN 37 which had been bound for Calcutta via Durban and Beira when it had been forced to disperse, when off Lourenco Marques.
		This was obviously a very exposed duty as attacking aircraft knew that their greatest danger came from the anti-aircraft gun on board, so the DEMS gunners would have been amongst the first targeted aboard any merchant ship.
		She had sailed from Liverpool bound for Calcutta via Freetown, part of convoy OB 260 and after being given the order to scatter was caught by Hipper in 44° 51' N, 27° 45' W and sunk by gunfire.

		Here's a little description of the three convoys (7 vehicles in total): the first starts from east-south-east and will travel to west to reach the second bridge: it this convoy there are 2 trucks, escorted by a Hunchback A, an SRM Carrier and a Rommel.
		The second convoy starts from the same position but will take the first bridge and then proceed west to cross the paved area; this convoy provides 2 trucks, one Cougar W, one Striker and one Rommel.
		Move your second lance (F2) toward the third convoy (simply move on an ideal horizontal line toward east), but not too much: it is beeter to explore the area a bit and then return to your original position: you'll may want the support of your first lance for the last part of the mission.
