I believe some of the ships that are crossed out, are crossed out simply because they left the convoy for their destination (Atlantic, for instance), and not necessarily because they were cancelled.

British Statesman is listed in Convoy HG 22.

Tantalus and Scottish Chief had been cancelled from HG 21.
