The juvenile turtles were swept from the Caribbean or along the US east coast by strong winds and Atlantic currents, becoming "cold-stunned" near the British coast, experts said.
Four of the loggerhead turtles were found along the Cornish coast, one was found in Devon and another was rescued at Anglesey in Wales.
Portsmouth-based patrol vessel HMS Medway transported the turtles to the Azores islands, where they were released having been cared for by Newquay's Blue Reef Aquarium and Anglesey Sea Zoo.
