The convoy departed Halifax on 12 September 1942 and was joined on 16 September[1] by Mid-Ocean Escort Force Group A-3. The convoy had been scattered by an equinoctial storm when U-boats found it on 18 September. The ships of Group A-3 were not fast enough to catch surfaced U-boats;[2] and the U-boats sank five scattered ships before losing contact on 25 September.[3] Surviving ships reached Liverpool on 28 September.{{sfn|Hague|2000|pp=133–135}} EscortsThe convoy was escorted by the following allied warships:- - 13 Flower-class corvettes
