Notes: * These ships were in company when HMS Revenge turned back from convoy. ** This should probably be Nidarholm? If so, it must have been the Finnish one, as the Norwegian Nidarholm had already been sunk earlier that year. *** There was a Greek and a Panamanian Thalia - I believe this was the Panamanian one. The ship in station 91 was given as Jersey, was there a ship by that name, or should it be Jersey City? Oakwood became the British Empire Moose in 1940, and Delawarean became Empire Hawksbill. All the Norwegian vessels above can be found in the alphabetical list on this website. To the next HX convoy in my list HX 25 |
