Commodore was in Fort Boise, Vice Commodore in Fort Yukon and Rear Commodore in Empire Stalwart. Blue Ranger and Lacklan were escort oilers. Horace Bushnell was torpedoed on March 20 by U-995, towed in by Orwell, but became total loss, salvaged post war (6500 tons stores, 5 dead, 64 survived, taken to Murmansk by Orwell, 1 died on board en route). That same day, Thomas Donaldson was sunk by U-968 (7679 tons war materials, 4 dead). Sloop Lapwing was also sunk (U-968, disagreement in sources, some say U-716). The escorting destroyer Onslaught returned to port after having collided with Blue Ranger while oiling.
