From the May 12, 2012, BBC News, Scottish Politics.
More than 3,000 seamen died in Operation Dervish, the convoys that supplied the Soviet Union with arms and weapons to Murmansk and Archangel.
Scottish Minister Keith Brown wants a campaign medal for them and was meeting with surviving veterans of the operation this week.
These men faced definite threats from German U-boats and aircraft as well as extreme weather.

The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
