Explanation

As an island nation, Britain relied on ships to bring in food, fuel, weapons, and other essential supplies. German attacks on Atlantic shipping threatened those deliveries, so keeping control of the ocean and protecting supply convoys was vital to Britain’s ability to continue fighting.
