| Additionally, according to the Commodore's notes for Convoy HX 128, La Paz and the Norwegian Inger Lise, initially sailing in that convoy, were sent to join Convoy SC 32 on May 28 (see page about HX 128). The HX 128 Commodore adds that this convoy with SC 32 and HMS Revenge formed one convoy of 72 ships from May 28 for 3 days. |

Notes: The Norwegian Marita is said to have picked up survivors from Empire Storm from Convoy HX 128, which was sunk by U 557 on May 29. This would be the reason why she returned to port - see my page about this ship. * Note that Empire Ptarmigan is listed in some previous convoys on this website as American Abercos. (See also Norelg). To the next SC convoy in my list SC 33 |
