This marked the start of the allied end-to-end convoy escort system, which remained in effect until the end of the war. The convoy was found by {{GS|U-591||2}} on 10 February, and attacked by {{GS|U-136|1941|2}} of 6th U-boat Flotilla, operating out of St Nazaire. Surviving ships reached Liverpool on 15 February.[2]{{toclimit|2}}Ships in the convoy[3]MerchantsName | Flag | Tonnage (GRT) | Notes |
