Comment

The first sources I've used mention a third convoy, HX 79A, which was also attacked by the same pack later that day, losing 7 ships; I can't find any other details or even a mention in any of the other books I've been using for this. Anybody know anything about it? Xyl 54 12:11, 1 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Neither can I. Keith-264 (talk) 16:58, 10 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Still waiting on additional sources Keith-264 (talk) 23:51, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please add a source for the final table in the article. I assume it is from one of the sources in the footnotes but I don't have them to check which it might be. Thanks. Donner60 (talk) 08:29, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Donner60: Done (Took a while to remember which source.) Keith-264 (talk) 08:55, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
