From 18 to 30 October the convoy was escorted by the County-class cruiser HMS Norfolk, the destroyers HMS Eclipse and Icarus,with the Halcyon-class minesweepers HMS Bramble, Seagull and Speedy. The convoy was met by the minesweepers HMS Gossamer, Hussar and Leda from Arkhangelsk on the night of 29/30 October, arriving on 30 October. From Operation Dervish at the end of August 1941 to 20 December, six more convoys (Convoy PQ 1 to Convoy PQ 6) sent 45 ships, all of which reached Arkhangelsk or Murmansk. From Operation Dervish, at the end of August 1941, the first convoy which comprised seven ships, to 20 December, six more convoys (Convoy PQ 1 to Convoy PQ 6) sent 45 ships, all of which reached Arkhangelsk or Murmansk.

The ships of Convoy PQ 2, Harpalion, Hartlebury, Queen City, Orient City, Temple Arch and Empire Baffin departed from Liverpool on 10 October 1941 and assembled at Scapa Flow in the Orkneys. The convoy sailed from Scapa Flow and arrived safely at Arkhangelsk. On 26 December 1941, Convoy PQ 7a sailed from Hvalfjörður on the west coast of Iceland. The merchant ships sailed on in company until 1 January 1942, when they were separated by a storm. Two merchant ships and the escort group leader were sunk in a North Atlantic battle with U-boat Wolf pack Raufbold before reaching the Western Ocean Meeting Point (WOMP) where the Western Local Escort Force assumed responsibility for the convoy on 23 December. On 13 November 1941, the commander-in-chief of the Kriegsmarine, Großadmiral (Grand Admiral) Erich Raeder, told Hitler that, owing to the extreme weather and the lack of air reconnaissance, the prospects of the small number of U-boats in the Arctic Ocean were poor. Hitler contemplated establishing a unified command but decided against it.

Robust, portable, and relatively simple to operate even on the battlefield, these machines were also found in many operational headquarters and forward-command centers -- including in the command vehicles of the panzer groups. British convoys to Russia had received little attention since they averaged only eight ships each and the long Arctic winter nights negated even the limited Luftwaffe effort that was available. In the winter darkness the Luftwaffe had great difficulty in finding Allied convoys, which made attacks on Murmansk and the railway south more practical. British convoys to Russia had received little attention, since they averaged only eight ships each and the long Arctic winter nights negated even the limited Luftwaffe effort that was available. The Germans paid little attention to the first eleven British convoys before March 1942, which averaged only eight ships each. The emphasis of air operations changed from army support to anti-shipping operations only after March 1942, when Allied Arctic convoys becoming larger and more frequent coincided with the reinforcement of Norway with ships and aircraft and the less extreme climatic conditions of the Arctic summer. As the Allied supply effort increased in 1942, the Arctic route carrying 1.2 million tons of supplies of the total of 2.3 million tons, the reinforcement of the Luftwaffe and Kriegsmarine led to German countermeasures growing in extent and effect.

German knowledge of these and the reciprocal westbound convoys (Convoy QP 1 to Convoy QP 4) was too vague to plan attacks by the limited forces available to the Kriegsmarine and the Luftwaffe in Norway. German awareness of these and the reciprocal westbound convoys (Convoy QP 1 to Convoy QP 4) was too vague to plan attacks on the convoys by the Kriegsmarine or the Luftwaffe. November 14: The British aircraft carrier Ark Royal sinks two days after being torpedoed in a Nazi German U-boat attack. Bernd Rosemeyer drove an Auto Union streamliner that had a mid-mounted V-16 engine, two superchargers and an estimated 400 horsepower -- not too shabby even today. It's a memorandum of understanding, a legal term that holds major implications for both international and domestic law (and maybe even a few cocktail-stained napkins, too). But visitors aren't allowed to approach the Tomb. Providing statistics on the number of visitors to the park annually, the success rate of dolphin encounters, and the park's contribution to Cozumel's economy would offer a more comprehensive view. More than two centuries later, Theodosia's fate remains unknown. By mid-February twenty U-boats were anticipated in the region, with six based in Norway, two in Narvik or Tromsø, two at Trondheim and two at Bergen.
