  1.  @satern7473  a good question. I have read that the Sharnhorsts also approached a convoy, realized it was escorted by HMS Malaya, and turned tail. My fun scenario involves convoy HX84. That convoy with Jervis Bay as escort, left Halifax on October 28, 1940. From September, into December of that year, the handover of the US destroyers to the RN was taking place, in Halifax. The USN transferred those destroyers with full magazines and torpedo tubes. What if half a dozen of those DDs tagged along with HX84, and Scheer found itself facing a squadron of angry Clemsons, instead of only Jervis Bay? As it happened, some of those old DDs were en route to the UK, but not with the convoy, heard Jervis Bay's radio traffic and rushed to help, but arrived too late.
