Later that month, Convoy PQ 13 was constituted and "Duke of York" again formed part of the escort force. In early April, "Duke of York", "King George V", and the carrier "Victorious" formed the core of a support force that patrolled between Iceland and Norway to cover several convoys to the Soviet Union. In late April, when "King George V" accidentally rammed and sank the destroyer in dense fog, sustaining significant bow damage, "Duke of York" was sent to relieve her. She continued in these operations through May, when she was joined by the American battleship . In mid-September, "Duke of York" escorted Convoy QP 14.
