Britain's navy was the best in the world and essential in troop movement around the vast empire. The navy was also the main defense against an invasion of the island nation.
by 1914 Britain had 250 ships compared to Germany's 56 ships.
They were cargo ships importing food to Britain.
because Britain is an island, all of their supplies came by sea. U-boats did their best to disrupt this by sinking ships.
The Battle of Jutland was key in the First World War, as although Britain lost more ships and men than Germany did, it was the High Fleet (Germany) who retreated, which allowed the Royal Navy to form a blockade, effectively starving the Germans. Without the blockade, the war would have probably gone on for a lot longer. In the Second World War, the Battle of the Atlantic was important, as it was an important fight to see who controlled the Atlantic, which was important as it was the route that the Americans and Canadians used to deliver food and supplies to Britain. Although the U-boats were far more deadly, the Americans and Canadians had too many ships to be sunk, so the Battle of the Atlantic was quite important.

In WW1 Britain had the largest navy, in WW2 the USA had the most ships.

The U-boat, short for unterseeboot, was the German submarine model in World War I. Much of the naval damage was caused by them. It threatened any ships going into Britain, nearly cutting them off from the rest of the world.

Liberty ships were built during World War II. These ships allowed for the ability to get war materials to United States soldiers stationed in the Soviet Union and Britain. These ships could be built quickly for this purpose.
At no time in the war did the UK seize US merchant ships. As far as I know nor did Viche France. Until 1941 the USA was officially neutral but openly traded and sent weapons to aid the British continue the war against the Axis. After 1941 the US and Britain became allies.
Germans destroyed US ships in middle of Atlantic
Great Britain was able to build ships and make weapons.
