Convoy QP 10
Convoy QP 10 was an Arctic convoy of World War II, consisting of empty merchant ships returning from the Soviet Union after delivering their cargo there. The convoy consisted of 16 merchant ships and an escort of nine warships. Six merchant ships from Convoy PQ 14 joined QP 10 partway through the voyage. The convoy departed Murmansk on 10 April 1942 and arrived in Reykjavik on 21 April. The convoy was attacked by German U-boats and aircraft, resulting in the loss of four merchant ships. Another ship, the ''Stone Street'', was damaged by air attack and forced to turn back to the Kola Inlet.〔 The convoy's escorts shot down six German planes and damaged another during the course of the voyage.〔

QP 10 consisted of 16 merchant ships. During the voyage, six ships from the Britain-to-Russia convoy PQ 14 joined QP 10 after turning back due to ice and weather damage.〔 The convoy was escorted by the cruiser HMS ''Liverpool'', the destroyers HMS ''Oribi'', ''Punjabi'', ''Fury'', ''Eclipse'', and ''Marne'', the minesweeper ''Speedwell'', and the trawlers ''Blackfly ''and ''Paynter''.〔 From 10 April to 12 April the escort was augmented by the Soviet destroyers ''Gremyashchi'' and ''Sokrushitelny'' and the minesweepers ''Gossamer'', ''Harrier'' and ''Hussar''.〔 Between Iceland and Norway a distant covering force was present, consisting of the battleships ''Duke of York ''and ''King George V'', the aircraft carrier ''Victorious'', the cruisers ''Kent'' and ''Nigeria'', and 12 destroyers, though this force was too far away from the convoy to defend it against submarine and air attacks.〔
