Convoy PQ 11: Difference between revisions

The escorts were joined by the [[Flower-class corvette]] {{HMS|Oxlip|K123|6}} from [[Iceland]], convoy escorts by this time comprising ships from different commands, which required relays of ships. ''Sweetbriar'' and ''Oxlip'' had been detached from [[Western Approaches Command]] for the convoy. ''Oxlip'' had been on a Patrol White in the [[Denmark Strait]] and then refuelled in [[Seyðisfjörður]] on the east coast of Iceland and then sailed with ''Sweetbriar'' to meet Convoy PQ 11, which looked like "an undistinguished collection of grey-hulled ships low in the water".{{sfn|Woodman|2004|pp=60–61}}
