13. To simplify signalling, convoys were, after February 1940, referred to only by their last two numbers. Thus in contemporary records Convoy FN 889 may be referred to as FN 89. As, however, there were several convoys which had the latter designation during the war, it has been thought best to give each one its full number here.
