The Battle of the Atlantic took place throughout the northern region of the Atlantic Ocean. Once the United States entered the war the battle spread all the way to the coast the United States and the Caribbean Sea. The battle lasted over 5 years and 8 months from September 3, 1939 to May 8, 1945. The control of the Atlantic had a major impact on the outcome of the war.

The Allies lost around 3,500 supply ships and 175 warships. The Germans lost 783 submarines.
