Notes:
Convoy QP 5 had left Murmansk on Jan. 13-1942, dispersed Jan. 19.

PQ 12 assembled at Loch Ewe, sailed from Reykjavik on March 1-1942 and arrived Murmansk on March 12.
El Coston and Dneprostroi later returned with Convoy QP 10 which left Kola on Apr. 10-1942.

* Strangely, Marylyn is listed in Convoy PQ 11, which also assembled at Loch Ewe, then sailed to Kirkwall on Febr. 6-1942, departing for Russia on Febr. 14, arrived Murmansk Febr. 22. She returned from Murmansk on March 21 with Convoy QP 9, which arrived Reykjavik on Apr. 3-1942. (I say "strangely", because this does not fit in with the fact that RU 10 is said to have arrived Loch Ewe on Febr. 8 - perhaps she proceeded straight to Kirkwall and joined PQ 11 from there?).
