0 a group of ships, lorries, cars etc travelling/traveling together -- beriring-iringan
an army convoy.
1 a fleet of merchant ships escorted for safety by warships -- konvoi
The convoy was protected by three cruisers and some destroyers.
They were driven off only by the fact that battleships were in company with the convoys concerned.
We have a large number of corvettes and frigates, built during the war for escorting convoys and anti-submarine work generally.
The safe arrival of convoys is a matter of life and death to this country.
Have we adequate escorts for convoys of ships in that area in time of war?
I suggest that it may alter the whole picture of submarine attack on merchant convoys.
The truth of the matter is that the advantages of convoys are considerable.
I, too, believe in convoys as a temporary measure, but not as a permanent measure.
The result is that the convoys go out in front in order to get those two enemy machines down.
