Nope... Convoy letters stand for start and finish destinations... But not WS... It stands for something else...

Dont think anyone is gonna get this... 
FROM 'Battleship' by MArtin Middlebrook and Patrick Mahoney...
"Convoy WS. 11...
Each regular convoy run was identified by its initials, usually denoting the starting or finishing points of that run. The WS convoys were an EXCEPTION; the initials stood for 'WINSTON'S SPECIALS'."
BAttleship, Page 43.
Answer = WS stood for 'Winston's Specials'...
Will have to think of another question...
