How a Convoy Is Formed in War Time
From the Relentive American description of convoy defense. The formation centers on a destroyer lead with a cruiser and armored cruiser, a torpedo boat towing a captive balloon in the V base, merchant ships following diagonally with buoys at sterns, and mine trawlers and observation craft along the sides.
