In World War I and World War II , the '' Kriegsmarine '' attempted to close the SLOCs from North America to Great Britain with the use of Submarine s. The Allies engaged in a defensive campaign employing escort vessels and Convoy s to keep these SLOCs open. During World War II, the U.S. Navy successfully closed the SLOCs to Japan, strangling the resource-poor island nation. During the Cold War , Europe would have required resupply and reinforcement from North America. Soviet Navy strategy was to close these SLOCs in order to maximize their numerical superiority on the European continent. |
