Another convoy quiz question

Seth won the first convoy quiz question d'jour... so here is another:

"British Royal Navy introduces a newly created convoy system, whereby all merchant ships crossing the Atlantic Ocean would travel in groups..."

The Royal Navy has claim of the historic implementation of convoyed ships as the new way to cross "the pond" in wartime.
Do you know what the official date was that this convoy tactic was initially deployed? And why? :hmm:
