ON-154 or ONS-154? Drutt (talk) 13:14, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Either is correct. ON-154 was the 154th of the ON-series convoys beginning in July of 1941. Alternate convoys of the ON-series were comprised of slower ships (hence the "S"); so the sequence is variously identified as "...ON-151, ON-152, ON-153, ON-154, ON-155..." or "...ON-151, ONS-152, ON-153, ONS-154, ON-155..." or "...ON(F)-151, ON(S)-152, ON(F)-153, ON(S)-154, ON(F)-155..." Slow ships were assigned a separate ONS series beginning with the number ONS-1 in March of 1943. I used the ON-154 title to identify this as the 154th convoy of the original ON series rather than a member of the later ONS-series. Thewellman (talk) 21:06, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Oh, I see that makes sense. Thank you for your work on this page. Drutt (talk) 05:59, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
