In Jan.-1942, she joined the U.K.- Gibraltar Convoy OG 79. She was bound for Huelva, station 33, arriving Febr. 7, returning to the U.K. later that month with Convoy HG 79, bound for Ipswich with a cargo of ore. In Apr.-1942, she's listed in station 92 of the westbound North Atlantic Convoy ON 83*, which originated in Liverpool on Apr. 4; Lynghaug joined from Loch Ewe, and arrived Halifax on Apr. 18 - see Page 3. In May that year she can be found in Convoy HX 191, leaving Halifax for the U.K. on May 24. In July, we find her in station 91 of the westbound Convoy ON 111*, which originated in Liverpool July 10. Lynghaug sailed from Clyde that day, arriving Halifax on July 22, continuing to Sydney, C.B. 2 days later, and from there to Montreal, with arrival Aug. 4. Among several Norwegian ships, the Norwegian corvettes Acanthus, Montbretia, and Potentilla are named among the escorts for ON 111. On Aug. 30, she headed back across the Atlantic with Convoy HX 205 from Halifax, again with Potentilla, Montbretia, and Acanthus among the escorts, as well as Eglantine. Lynghaug, with final destination Demerara, later joined the westbound Convoy ON 135* (originated in Liverpool Oct. 2, Lynghaug joined from Loch Ewe and arrived New York Oct. 20; again, see Page 3 of the archive docs as well as the Voyage Record for further arrival dates). She was scheduled for Convoy HX 221 from New York on Dec. 29, but instead joined the next convoy on Jan. 6-1943, HX 222 (Vestfold was sunk). Lynghaug was bound for Newport, where she arrived, via Belfast Lough, on Jan. 23.

With several other Norwegian ships, she later joined the westbound Convoy ON 168*, which originated in Liverpool on Febr. 21-1943 and dispersed March 12, Lynghaug arriving New York on March 17 - see Page 4. On May 18, we find her in the slow Halifax-U.K. Convoy SC 131. It looks like she may originally have been scheduled for Convoy HX 238 from New York, but the name of the ship is very blurry, so I can't be sure. Lynghaug now joined the westbound Convoy ON 190* (originated in Liverpool June 24, arrived NewYork July 9; Lynghaug, however, stopped at Halifax on July 6, again, see the archive document already referred to). She subsequently returned to the U.K. in Convoy HX 250, which had originated in New York City on July 30-1943, but Lynghaug joined this convoy from Halifax on Aug. 2. Her destination is given as Sharpness, cargo of lumber.

The following month, she shows up in Convoy KMS 28*. Lynghaug's destiantion was Tripoli, where she arrived on Oct. 13. This convoy had started out from Liverpool on Sept. 26; some ships were bound for Gibraltar, with arrival there Oct. 7, while the other ships then proceeded from there to their various destinations. Having made voyages to Malta and Casablanca and on to Gibraltar, we find her, with a cargo of phosphates, in Convoy MKS 31 on Nov. 23, together with Danio and Slemmestad. MKS 31 joined up with Convoy SL 140 from Freetown the next day; info on the combined convoy is available via the external link provided in the Voyage Record. Lynghaug was bound for Preston, where she arrived on Dec. 11 - see Page 5 (having run aground en route, more in the next paragraph).

* All the ON convoys mentioned here are available and will be added to individual pages in my Convoys section in due course, along with further details on each. In the meantime, the ships sailing in them (and escorts) are named in the section listing ships in all ON convoys. See also ships in all KMS convoys.
