Convoy Faith was an Allied convoy of World War II that suffered heavy casualties after being attacked by German Focke-Wulf Fw 200 Condor long-range bomber aircraft on the night of 11/12 July 1943. The convoy departed Greenock, Scotland on 8 July bound for Freetown in Sierra Leone and comprised two troopships, one transport and four escorting warships. On 11 July it was attacked by three Condors, and both the troopships were sunk, resulting in the death of over 100 personnel. The surviving transport was damaged in another air attack on 12 July before she reached Casablanca. These losses delayed the movement of a division of West African soldiers to India.
