During WWII, the Navy's mission in the Battle of the Atlantic was convoy escort and Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW), which is essentially the backbone of the Navy's core mission - keep the sea lanes open for a flow of seaborne goods and services to and from the United States.
The Navy's mission in the Atlantic during the Cold War was essentially ASW as well, maintaining tabs on Soviet submarines entering the Atlantic from the North, as well as the same core mission of keeping the sea lanes open.

The Navy's primary wartime mission in the Atlantic was to protect shipping routes and ensure the safe passage of Allied vessels. This involved countering threats from enemy submarines and surface ships, conducting anti-submarine warfare, and providing naval support to ground forces. Additionally, maintaining control of the Atlantic was crucial for logistical support and the transport of troops and supplies to Europe during World War II. Overall, it was essential for securing victory in the broader conflict.
