In Jan.-1942, she joined the U.K.- Gibraltar Convoy OG 79, bound for Huelva, station 33, arriving Febr. 7, returning to the U.K. later that month with Convoy HG 79, bound for Ipswich with a cargo of ore, arriving there on March 15 (Page 2). The following month, she's listed in station 92 of the westbound North Atlantic Convoy ON 83*, which originated in Liverpool on Apr. 4; Lynghaug joined from Loch Ewe, and arrived Halifax on Apr. 18, later proceeding to St. John, N.B., before returning to Halifax in order to join Convoy HX 191 on May 24 - her voyages in this period are shown on Page 3. In July, we find her in station 91 of the westbound Convoy ON 111*, which originated in Liverpool July 10. Lynghaug sailed from Clyde that day, arriving Halifax on July 22, continuing to Sydney, C.B. 2 days later, and from there to Montreal, with arrival Aug. 4. Acanthus, Montbretia and Potentilla are named among the escorts for ON 111 - see ON convoy escorts.

On Aug. 30, she headed back across the Atlantic with Convoy HX 205 from Halifax, again with Potentilla, Montbretia and Acanthus among the escorts, as well as Eglantine. Lynghaug, with final destination Demerara, later joined the westbound Convoy ON 135* (originated in Liverpool Oct. 2, Lynghaug joined from Loch Ewe and arrived New York Oct. 20; again, see Page 3 as well as the Voyage Record for further arrival dates). She was scheduled for Convoy HX 221 from New York on Dec. 29, but instead joined the next convoy on Jan. 6-1943, HX 222 (Vestfold was sunk - follow the link for details). Lynghaug was bound for Newport, where she arrived, via Belfast Lough, on Jan. 23.

The following month, she joined the westbound Convoy ON 168*, which originated in Liverpool on Febr. 21-1943 and dispersed March 12, Lynghaug arriving New York on March 17 - see Page 4. On May 18, we find her in the slow Halifax-U.K. Convoy SC 131, for which Acanthus, Eglantine, Potentilla and Rose served as escorts for a while. It looks like she may originally have been scheduled for Convoy HX 238 from New York on May 7, but the name of the ship is very blurry, so I can't be sure. Lynghaug now joined the westbound Convoy ON 190*, which originated in Liverpool June 24 and arrived NewYork July 9; Lynghaug, however, stopped at Halifax on July 6. She subsequently returned to the U.K. in Convoy HX 250, which had started out in New York City on July 30, but Lynghaug joined this convoy from Halifax on Aug. 2. Her destination is given as Sharpness, cargo of lumber, and she arrived her destination, via Belfast Lough, on Aug. 14 (remaining there for over a month).

She's now listed in Convoy KMS 28*, which sailed from Liverpool on Sept. 26; some ships were bound for Gibraltar, with arrival there Oct. 7, while the other ships then proceeded from there to their various destinations. Lynghaug was bound for Tripoli, Libya, where she arrived on Oct. 13 (remaining for almost a month - see Page 4). Having made voyages to Malta and Casablanca and on to Gibraltar, we find her, with a cargo of phosphates, in Convoy MKS 31 on Nov. 23, together with Danio and Slemmestad. MKS 31 joined up with Convoy SL 140 from Freetown the next day; info on the combined convoy is available via the external link provided in the Voyage Record. Lynghaug was bound for Preston, where she arrived on Dec. 11 - see Page 5 (having run aground en route, more in the next paragraph).

* The ON convoys will be added to individual pages in my Convoys section in due course, along with further details on each. In the meantime, the ships sailing in them (and escorts) are named in the section listing ships in all ON convoys. See also ships in all KMS convoys.
