On 11 June, only a day after returning to Gibraltar following Operation Salient, "Antelope" formed part of the escort for Operation Harpoon, a heavily escorted attempt to resupply Malta. After the cruiser was damaged by Italian torpedo bombers, "Antelope" was dispatched from the convoy to tow "Liverpool" back to Gibraltar, with the destroyer as escort. In July, "Antelope" took part in two further Spitfire resupply runs with "Eagle", Operations Pinpoint and Insect. In August 1942 "Antelope" formed part of the main escort force for Operation Pedestal, another Malta convoy.
