Admiral dornitz sends six uboats north to shadow the convoy. Force one and Force two rendevous with each other and procced to intercept the convoy .

The aircraft carriers hms victorious and hms implacable launch four fighters each for scouting.

The battleships uss Washington, hms KGV and DoY race to catch the convoy and reinforce the escorts.
 
Okay, this is summer of 1942 so Ranger will have an air group of 54 F4F Wildcats and 18 SB2U Vindicators.

Not sure about HMS Victorious but she should have a mix of Sea Hurricanes, Fulmars, and Albacores.
 
ITTL with the loss of glorious,furious and couragious along with illustrious out for one and a half years due to a lucky torpedo hit. The admiralty pushes the implacable class forward bringing the class into commission in mid 1942
