Departed New York on May 21-1944 and arrived Liverpool on the 31st.
Arnold Hague's "The Allied Convoy System" gives 39 ships in this convoy.

See also Ships in all CU convoys (includes tonnage of each ship, and year built), and Escorts for all CU convoys.

Transcribed from documents received from Tony Cooper, England.

These ships were American, except where otherwise noted.

For info, some of the ships in this convoy had previously arrived with UC 21.

Notes:
Comparing the above with a list of ships received from D. Kindell, based on Arnold Hague's research, I find that A. Hague has not included Red Canyon in this convoy.

No further details are available.

Escorts (Dates are European style: Day/month/year. Received from Don Kindell - His source: The late Arnold Hague's database):
USS Camp - 21/05/44 to 31/05/44
USS Howard D. Crow - 21/05/44 to 30/05/44
USS Hurst - 21/05/44 to 31/05/44
USS Marchand - 21/05/44 to 31/05/44
USS Pettit - 21/05/44 to 31/05/44
USS Ricketts - 21/05/44 to 31/05/44
