During World War I, the Allies reduced losses of their ships primarily through the implementation of convoy systems, where merchant vessels traveled in groups escorted by naval warships to deter attacks from German U-boats. They also improved anti-submarine warfare tactics, including the use of depth charges, sonar, and aerial reconnaissance to detect and target submarines more effectively. Additionally, advancements in ship design and construction increased the resilience of vessels against torpedo strikes. These strategies collectively helped mitigate shipping losses during the conflict.
