Thanks Don, for the reference. No doubt Niagara was USN first AGP and was serving as such prior to PH attack. Still searching for an official reference however, that confirms what we both believe to be true, that Niagara was in transit to PI to act as an AGP for PT squadron 3 not as an escort vessel with Pencecola convoy as various sources imply. Thanks again

I've never seem an explicit OFFICIAL reference.

There is no doubt that Niagara was operating as a tender pre-Pearl Harbor. And her early detachment from the convoy precludes her being considered an escort. But all is only circumstantial.

There is a very interesting thread on the Pensacola Convoy at http://www.network54.com/Forum/594514/message/1243241775/M.+S.+Bloemfontein that includes a specific statement on Niagara on her use as a tender. I think I'll mosey over there and post a response asking for official sources.

Thanks Don any info would be appreciated. I agree its the only logical reason for the Niagara being included in that convoy. I thinks its possible some original sources just assumed that a ship designated a PG was along as an escort. Thanks again for your efforts.
