Notes: Commodore's notes on passage are not available. * Arnold Hague has included Blue Jacket in the returning Convoy UC 18, which departed Liverpool on Apr. 5-1944 and arrived New York on Apr. 17 - see my page naming ships in all UC convoys. If she did indeed return to New York when in CU 18, she could not have been in UC 18, unless she sailed to the U.K. in another eastbound convoy (or independently). Escorts (Received from Don Kindell - His source: The late Arnold Hague's database): Related external links: To the next CU convoy in my list CU 19 |
