Ten ships comprising a total tonnage of 15,185 tons were sunk before the U-boats lost contact on 23 August.

The Aguila losses included the 22 "lost Wrens" (members of the Women's Royal Naval Service, or WRNS) who had volunteered for duties at Gibraltar.

[5] Of the convoy's surviving merchant ships, five reached Gibraltar while 10 retreated to neutral Portugal.

[10] A series of armed military ships escorted the convoy at various times during its journey.
