In World War I, the "convoy system" was an organizational innovation by the western allies (in particular, the British) in response to German submarine attacks. In 1916 then even further in 1917, Great Britain organized all of its shipping into large groups called "convoys". Convoys traveled as one and were protected by dedicated warships throughout their journeys to and from ports in Great Britain. The convoy system succeeded in breaking the German submarine blockade.
