Historically speaking Britain didnt have enough carriers to be able to put a carrier in each Hunter\killer group
As convoy routes were defined and as was the frequency - with some variations - it was quite often the practice to sail Hunter\killer groups midway between 2 convoys to take over escort duties if needed - for refuelling purposes but more importantly to take over from the convoy escorts when a uboat was found thus allowing the convoy escorts to return to station
