During World War II, in April and May 1943 several important convoys of warships in the U.S. Navy were organized on the east coast of the United States and sent across the Atlantic, bringing a large number of landing ships and landing craft to the Mediterranean. These vessels and the soldiers they brought, were essential to the war effort of the Allies in the European theatre of operations. Three of these convoys were designated UGL.2, UGL.3 and UGL.4. The acronym indicates the following: U indicates that the origin of the group was in the United States; G indicates that the initial destination in Europe was Gibraltar; L indicates that it was a convoy made up primarily of landing ships. The UGL convoys originated in New York City, and stopped briefly in Bermuda on their way across the Atlantic. During this same time several other convoys (designated UGS) also traveled to the Mediterranean, also containing significant numbers of landing ships. Information on these is also included here.
