Convoys PQ 9 and 10 were Arctic convoys sent from Great Britain by the Western Allies to aid the Soviet Union during World War II. They sailed together in early February 1942 and arrived in Murmansk without loss. ShipsConvoys PQ 9 and 10 together comprised ten ships; three British, four Soviet, one American, one Norwegian and one of Panamanian registry. The convoy was escorted by two destroyers, {{HMS|Faulknor|H62|6}} and {{HMS|Intrepid|D10|6}}, and five trawlers, supported by the cruiser {{HMS|Nigeria|60|6}}. These were joined in the last stage of the voyage by a Soviet destroyer and three Royal Navy minesweepers based at Murmansk. VoyagePQ 9 sailed from Scotland for Iceland in mid-January, where it was joined by ships from the Americas. PQ 10 was due to follow, but delays and failures meant that just one ship Trevorian, sailed for Reykjavik, on 26 January 1942. Meanwhile, PQ 9's departure on 17 January had been delayed after the Admiralty received reports of a sortie by the German battleship {{ship|German battleship|Tirpitz||2}}.[1] It was decided that Trevorian would join the ships of PQ 9, rather than wait for PQ 10 to be re-formed. The combined convoy of ten ships sailed from Reykjavik on 1 February. It was undetected by German aircraft or U-boats in the continuous darkness of the polar night, and arrived safely at Murmansk on 10 February. Ships in Convoy PQ 9[2]
