A War at Sea – World War 2


A War at Sea – World War II

Much of World War II was fought at sea from the cold waters of the North Atlantic to the tropical water of the South Pacific.

The Royal Navy’s strategy in the Second World War, just as it had been in the Great War, was to protect the British Isles from attack, to keep the islands vital sea supply lanes open and to maintain communication with the far-flung British Empire and Allied forces fighting in distant theatres.
