Convoy Wallpapers

Egypt Convoy, Hurgada - Luxor, photo wallpapers: A convoy is a group of vehicles (of any type) traveling together for mutual support. Often, a convoy is organized with armed defensive support. For example, driving by car through a desert is safer in a convoy. If one vehicle breaks down, the passengers from the others can help with repairs. If repairs are not possible, the people from the broken-down car can transfer to others. By the French Revolutionary Wars of the late 18th century, effective naval convoy tactics had been developed to ward off pirates and privateers. Some convoys contained several hundred merchant ships. The most enduring system of convoys were the Spanish treasure fleets, that sailed from the 1520s until 1790. When merchant ships sailed independently, a privateer could cruise a shipping lane and capture ships as they passed. Ships sailing in convoy presented a much smaller target: a convoy was no more likely to be found than a single ship. Even if the privateer found a convoy and the wind was favourable for an attack, it could hope to capture only a handful of ships before the rest managed to escape, and a small escort of warships could easily thwart it.[br]
