In November 1942, Britain and America launched Operation TORCH, the ambitious invasion of French North Africa. To convey 70,000 troops and their equipment required 600 merchant ships crossing the U-boat infested North Atlantic. The need for their protection meant withdrawing escorts from the routine convoys.
