Would HMS Edinburgh still be lost with Soviet gold?

Would HMS Edinburgh still be sunk while carrying Soviet gold?

Its fate is uncertain, but without Barbarossa it may carry no Soviet gold, and safer Arctic convoys make the historical loss less likely.

The cruiser's survival and the mission that put Soviet gold aboard are separate questions. If Germany never launches Barbarossa, Britain may not be moving Soviet gold on that route at all. Even if the eastern war still occurs, an Allied Norway makes Arctic convoys far less exposed to German attack. Edinburgh's fate remains uncertain, but both the cargo and the circumstances of its loss are likely to change.
