Extracts:

"On 11 March 1945 Convoy JW-65 sailed from the Clyde for Murmansk escorted
by the cruiser H M S Diadem, escort carriers H M S Campania and Trumpeter, and a
number of destroyers and other vessels."

"RA-65 sailed from Murmansk on 24 March. H M S Diadem, Campania, and
Trumpeter departed in advance of the main body to provide air cover for the merchant-
men. Although the weather prevented carrier air operations until after 0735A, no U-boats
were encountered and only a few High Frequency Direction finder (HF/DF) bearings were
obtained from several U-boats to the west. Nonetheless, air patrols were flown around
RA-65 on 26 March to prevent U-boats from getting ahead of the convoy into an
attacking position."
