The term is most commonly used when discussing Naval Warfare , notably during the First World War and Battle Of The Atlantic during the Second World War in which the German Navy attempted to blockade the UK using Submarine s ( U-boat s) operating in this area. Since almost all shipping to and from the UK passed through this area, it was an excellent hunting ground and had to be heavily defended.
