Note: In order to gain 24 hours on the slow convoy it was necessary for the fast convoy to maintain 18 knots. Monarch of Bermuda and Strathaird were foul and Batory could produce just over 18 knots, so for the greater part of the voyage these ships did not zigzag while the four big ships zigzagged across their front. As seen from ahead this produced a confusing impression and, combined with the high speed of advance, was at least as good as the whole convoy zigzagging.
