Ships were important to Britain in World War 1 for several reasons. Firstly, Britain relied heavily on sea trade for food and supplies, and ships were crucial for maintaining this lifeline. Additionally, the British Navy played a key role in guarding the seas and ensuring the safe passage of its convoys and troops. Lastly, ships were essential for carrying out naval blockades against enemy ports, limiting their access to resources and weakening their economies.

The Atlantic Theatre was not home to many battles, but there was an abundant population of German submarines with orders to sink any Allied ships or ships going to Britain.
449,800 Britons were killed during the war. Many of them were civilians that died as a result of the blitz and ships being sunk in the Atlantic Ocean.
there was no infantery figths in Britain but London and some port cites were bombed by airships or zappelins and naval ships
because Britain refused to stop seizing American ships that traded with France
At no time in the war did the UK seize US merchant ships. As far as I know nor did Viche France. Until 1941 the USA was officially neutral but openly traded and sent weapons to aid the British continue the war against the Axis. After 1941 the US and Britain became allies.
Liberty ships were built during World War II. These ships allowed for the ability to get war materials to United States soldiers stationed in the Soviet Union and Britain. These ships could be built quickly for this purpose.
