The Greeks needed a superior navy primarily for defense and trade. With their city-states often competing for resources and territory, a strong naval force allowed them to protect their Coastlines and shipping routes from rival powers, such as Persia. Additionally, a powerful navy facilitated trade and commerce across the Aegean Sea, enhancing their economy and enabling the exchange of goods, culture, and ideas. Ultimately, naval supremacy was crucial for maintaining security and fostering prosperity among the Greek city-states.
One disadvantage towards the Loyalists (the British) was that their soldiers were mercenaries which means that they fought for money, while the Patriots (the Americans) had soldiers who fought for freedom.
The Persians were not seafarers, and relied on other ethnics within their empire to provide their navy and trading fleet. The Greeks within their empire in Asia Minor and the Islands provided a significant part of this shipping and fighters which supported Persian security and prosperity.
