Fewer escorts in the Med

:hmm:
A grid reference would make things more precise here because I'm also in the same area (and the time period) and what I find a lot (along the north african coast and somewhat north west of Tobruk) is a couple of 1.2k-2.5k ton ships having a front and rear escort as well (mostly a black swan among them).

Sure there are the occasional unescorted merchants. Found three large cargo ships all by their lonesome once, but much nearer to the african coast. After the air cover increased greatly I left that spot and moved further west along a convoy route (bagged a 24k GRT passenger liner there last night).
