Convoy systemAnswer 2 The convoy system was used to transport supplies from USA and Canada to Britain during WW2. In a convoy system, a group of merchant vessels of a few tens in number, are protected by a travelling group of destroyers, and occasionally, submarines. The whole fleet travels in an irregular path. If a ship is attacked, it is largely left to its own devices while the remainder of the convoy escapes. The convoy is spread out over a huge area of ocean, so each ship has a fair degree of freedom in its moment by moment course.Sometimes, a Q ship; a ship disguised as a merchantman, but in fact a heavily - armed ship; would trail the convoy.Naturally the intended departure date of the convoy was kept secret, but there were a number of spies who passed on as much intelligence as they could, and there was a counter - intelligence organization to try and defeat these. Good old spy VS spy action.
