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. Keeping Britain supplied helped to keep the Germans from taking over all of Western Europe. The losses in the battle were staggering. Over 30,000 sailors were killed on each side. The Allies lost around 3,500 supply ships and 175 warships. The Germans lost 783 submarines.

The Allies lost 1,664 supply ships in 1942.
The Germans sometimes used a "wolf pack" tactic where a number of submarines would surround and attack a supply convoy at once.
Allied planes used a large spotlight called the Leigh Light to spot submarines that had surfaced at night.
