Convoy SC 94
Convoy SC-94 was the 94th of the numbered series of World War II Slow Convoys of merchant ships from Sydney, Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, to Liverpool.〔Hague 2000 p.133〕 The ships departed Sydney on 31 July 1942〔Hague 2000 p.135〕 and were met by Mid-Ocean Escort Force Group C-1 consisting of the Canadian River class destroyer ''Assiniboine'' with the Flower class corvettes ''Battleford'', ''Chilliwack'', ''Dianthus'', ''Nasturtium'', ''Orillia'', and ''Primrose''.〔Milner 1985 p.285〕
==Background==
As western Atlantic coastal convoys brought an end to the second happy time, Admiral Karl Dönitz, the ''Befehlshaber der U-Boote'' (''BdU'') or commander in chief of U-Boats, shifted focus to the mid-Atlantic to avoid aircraft patrols. Although convoy routing was less predictable in the mid-ocean, Dönitz anticipated that the increased numbers of U-boats being produced would be able to effectively search the area with the advantage of intelligence gained through ''B-Dienst'' decryption of British Naval Cypher Number 3.〔Tarrant p.108〕 However, only 20 percent of the 180 trans-Atlantic convoys sailing from the end of July 1942 until the end of April 1943 lost ships to U-boat attack.〔Hague pp.132, 137-138, 161-162, 164, 181〕
