Sea lines of communication
vSea lines of communication (abbreviated as SLOC) is a term describing the primary maritime routes between ports, used for trade, logistics and naval forces.[1] It is generally used in reference to naval operations to ensure that SLOCs are open, or in times of war, to close them.
In the American Revolutionary war and the Napoleonic Wars, the SLOCs were for the most part, in the control of the British Navy—when the British lost control of them during the Revolution, the result was the loss of Yorktown and its biggest army, and ultimately the war. In the Napoleonic era, maintaining belligerence throughout, the British embargoed and blockaded any country associated with Napoleon, creating large economic hardships and dislocations that ultimately led to the people of France becoming disenchanted with their Emperor.
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 submarines. The Allies engaged in a defensive campaign employing escort vessels
