Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox military conflict Шаблон:Campaignbox Atlantic Campaign Convoy HX 106 was the 106th of the numbered series of Allied HX convoys of merchant ships from Halifax, Nova Scotia to Liverpool, England. Forty-one ships departed Halifax, Nova Scotia on 30 January 1941, eastbound to Liverpool, England.[1] The use of convoys was a standard tactic throughout the Battle of the Atlantic as a defence against U-boats and German commerce raiders.

On 8 February 1941 the two German battleships, Шаблон:Ship and Шаблон:Ship, found the convoy.[2] The German squadron was under the command of Admiral Günther Lütjens. The captain of Scharnhorst offered to draw off the escorting Royal Navy battleship Шаблон:HMS, so that Gneisenau could sink the merchant ships. This strategy, if successful, would have entailed little risk to Scharnhorst as she was Шаблон:Convert faster than Ramillies, and her newer Шаблон:Convert guns outranged the 1915 era Шаблон:Convert guns of the British ship. However, Lutjens strictly followed Hitler's directive not to engage enemy capital ships, and withdrew.[2]

Later, two of the convoy's merchant ships were sunk by the submarine Шаблон:GS, including Arthur F. Corwin loaded with 14,500 tons of aviation fuel. She went down on 13 February, taking all 59 crew with her. Шаблон:TOC limit
