Editing CAM ship (section)

==Programme termination==
As adequate numbers of [[escort carrier]]s became available, CAM sailings on North American and Arctic Russian convoys were discontinued in August 1942. The aircraft maintenance unit was withdrawn from Archangelsk in September 1942. Catapults were removed from 10 of the 26 surviving CAM ships while the remaining 16 continued to sail with the Mediterranean and Freetown convoys.<ref name="hague78"/>  Headquarters [[RAF Fighter Command]] ordered all MSFUs to be disbanded commencing 8 June 1943. The combat launches from homeward bound convoy SL 133 were from the last two operational CAM ships to sail; the last MSFU was disbanded on 7 September 1943. Twelve of the 35 CAM ships had been sunk while sailing on 170 round trip voyages.<ref name="proceedings"/> Two more ships, ''Cape Clear'' and ''City of Johannesburg'', were briefly fitted with dummy catapults and aircraft for deception purposes in late 1941.<ref name="hague"/>
