The 8th DF returned to Britain after Halberd and resumed their previous task of escorting the ships of Home Fleet for the next six months. In early April 1942, "Foresight", "Forester" and the light cruiser were part of the close escort for Convoy PQ 14, bound for Murmansk. The trio were then the close escort for Convoy QP 11, returning from Murmansk to Iceland, when "Edinburgh" was torpedoed on 29 April. The two hits disabled her steering and she had to be towed by the sisters. Two days later, they were attacked by three German destroyers which badly damaged the two destroyers and put another torpedo into "Edinburgh", crippling her. "Foresight" had eight men killed and eleven wounded during the battle. The two destroyers took off the survivors from the cruiser and "Foresight" scuttled the cruiser with a torpedo. Temporarily repaired at Murmansk, the sisters were part of the light cruiser 's escort home in May. She had to be scuttled on 15 May by the destroyer after she was set on fire by a German bomber. "Foresight" spent June under repair.
