Escort Group B2
Escort Group B2 was a convoy escort British formation of the Royal Navy which saw action during the Second World War, principally in the Battle of the Atlantic.
The group was under the command of Cdr Donald Macintyre, one of Britains most successful anti-submarine warfare commanders.
==Formation==
Escort Group B2 was one of seven British escort groups which served with the Mid-Ocean Escort Force (MOEF), which provided convoy protection in the most dangerous midsection of the North Atlantic route.
The group was formed in the spring of 1942 and originally consisted of the ''Havant''-class destroyer ''Hesperus'' as group leader with the Town class destroyer ''Leamington'', V-class destroyer ''Veteran'', and the
Flower-class corvettes ''Gentian'', ''Clematis'', ''Sweetbriar'' and ''Vervain''.〔Rohwer & Hummelchen p124〕
Later in the year the low-endurance destroyers ''Leamington'' and ''Veteran'' were replaced by
long-range V & W destroyers ''Vanessa'' and
''Whitehall'' and the Flower-class corvettes ''Heather'', ''Campanula'', and ''Mignonette'' joined the group.〔Rohwer & Hummelchen p227〕
