Convoy HG 76
HG 76 was an Allied convoy of the HG (Homeward from Gibraltar) series during World War II. It was notable in seeing the destruction of five German U-boats (the true total was not known to the British until after the war) and two Focke-Wulf Condor long-range reconnaissance aircraft by fighters, flying from the escort carrier HMS Audacity, for the loss of Audacity, a destroyer and two merchant ships. It was regarded as the first big convoy victory for the Allies in the Battle of the Atlantic.
