Note: * These 2 ships collided on Sept. 9, so it's probable that Tongariro was in station 25. 2 died on Socony (sank). As with all the lists from Ted Agar the ships' names appear to be given according to the time they left the pier to form the convoy, starting with the Norwegian Herbrand at 09:10, and with a few minutes between each ship, ending with the British Tongariro at 14:35. The escorting HMS Alaunia departed 5 minutes earlier than the latter. I've listed them according to nationality, keeping the sequence of departure within each nationality. |
