What was the main function of the navy during ww1?
though there was only a handful of engagements by each nations navy, it still played an important role during world war one.
Each nation used its navy to oversee the protection of its colonies and overseas possessions, such as India, Africa and parts of Asia.
The British navy was also used to blockade the ports of Germany to cut the supplies of food and materials they received from trading with nations and from their overseas colonies.
By 1917 Germany also responded by utilizing a campaign of unrestricted Submarine Warefare (USW), under this campaign German submarines engaged and sunk both warships and merchant ships in an attempt to cause Britain to succumb to starvation and pull out of the war before Germany.
It was actually this campaign that caused the sinking of the American ship the Lucitania and prompted the Americans to join the War against Germany.

What was the Lusitania and why was it so important?
From the Britannica Concise Encyclopedia:
The Lusitania was a British ocean liner sunk by a German submarine off the coast of Ireland on May 7, 1915. The British Admiralty had warned the Lusitania to avoid the area and to use the evasive tactic of zigzagging, but the crew ignored these recommendations. Though unarmed, the ship was carrying munitions for the Allies, and the Germans had circulated warnings that the ship would be sunk. The loss of life - 1,198 people drowned, including 128 U.S. citizens - outraged public opinion. The U.S. protested Germany's action, and Germany limited its submarine campaign against Britain. When Germany renewed unrestricted submarine warfare, the U.S. entered World War I in April 1917.
