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.
