British Dominion had been cancelled from Convoy HG 23.

* See Empire Ability on this external page.

** If the ship crossed out from station 62 was Otina, she sailed in Convoy HG 24 3 days later.

* In collision - see my page about Vilja.


Notes:
Commodore was in Larchbank, Vice Commodore in Uhenfels.

Not sure why Larchbank is crossed out from station 31 and moved to station 34 - it seems odd for a Commodore's ship to be in the last row. Perhaps Staffordshire actually took over as Commodore Ship?

Commodore's notes are not available.

Escorts:
Chacal (French destroyer), Capitaine Armande and HMS Wrestler.
