Which Force H formation hunted the German raiders?

A short order-of-battle question identifies Renown and Ark Royal as the two principal ships in this Force H formation.

Question

Which Force H formation was involved in the hunt described from Moffat's memoir?

Short answer

Renown and Ark Royal were the two principal ships he identifies.

Notes

This Force H formation was built around the battlecruiser Renown and the carrier Ark Royal. The answer is narrow and does not list every accompanying cruiser or destroyer. These are the two principal ships needed to understand the preceding pursuit counterfactual. The brief exchange establishes no fuller order of battle.
